01 / Introduction
About Amanda Boggan
Amanda Boggan appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 110. The City records the affiliation as TEAM for a Livable Vancouver.
TEAM's candidate page says Boggan is a Vancouver resident and community advocate who lives in the Downtown Eastside and was president of the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council.
The Wikipedia article on the 2026 Vancouver municipal election also describes Boggan as a former president of the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council.
TEAM's announcement of the nomination says Boggan worked for years in warehouses and laundry services.
TEAM's candidate page says Boggan attends public meetings, reads public documents and studies administrative law to follow how government decisions affect residents.
The Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council's own About page lists Amanda Boggan as a media contact and gives her no title. The page was first posted in May 2010 and last edited in August 2014. A post on the same website dated November 14, 2013 names another person as the council's president at that time. TEAM's video of June 13, 2026 records her describing how she would review city decisions.
voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list and the campaign material linked under Sources. The campaign has not been contacted, and no candidate-supplied content appears on this page.
Published positions and selected commitments, separated by election cycle. Status labels describe the evidence reviewed, not a numerical score or a complete audit of the platform. Council approval is different from delivery.

Decisions made within legal authority and proper process
TEAM's candidate page says Boggan has a strong interest in the rule of law and that, in her view, public trust depends on decisions being made within legal authority, through proper process, and for reasons that can be explained to the public.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is stated on the party's own candidate page. No specific council decision or bylaw is named as an example.
What still needs checking
Which recent council decisions Boggan considers to have been made outside proper process.
TEAM's candidate page says Boggan has a strong interest in access to information, transparency and government accountability, and that in her view decisions need reasons that can be explained to the public.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stated on the party's own candidate page. No records policy, disclosure rule or reporting change is named.
What still needs checking
What Boggan would change about how the city publishes records and reports on decisions.
TEAM's candidate page says local government should stay focused on the responsibilities assigned to it and on the services that support daily life in Vancouver neighbourhoods.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stated on the party's own candidate page. The page does not say which current city activities Boggan considers outside that scope. voche.me tags it other because it names no scored issue, so it earns no points.
What still needs checking
Which city programs Boggan would stop or hand to another level of government.
2026 · City focused on its own dutiesCampaign pledge
City focused on its own duties
The page says Boggan believes local government works best when it stays on the responsibilities assigned to it.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Taken from the campaign page listed in the sources. No independent confirmation was found. It repeats the entry titled City hall focused on its own responsibilities, which is a view on the role of city government. voche.me tags it other because it names no scored issue, so it earns no points.
What still needs checking
What would this cost, who would deliver it, and by when?
Reviewing whether city decisions stay within the city’s legal powers, follow procedure and give reasons
In TEAM's video, Boggan says she looks at whether city decisions stay within the powers the law gives the city, whether proper procedure is followed and whether the reasons are justifiable. She says she asks one question: are these powers being used correctly, and are the reasons justifiable.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Spoken in TEAM's candidate video, read on September 25, 2026 through YouTube's automatic captions, which contain errors. The passage describes how she would examine decisions. It names no bylaw, budget line or policy she would adopt, and gives no number, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which council decisions she would review this way, and what she would do when she finds one outside the city's powers.
Decisions supported by reasons that citizens can understand
In TEAM's video, Boggan says she pays attention to whether authority is used as intended, whether procedure is followed as required, and whether decisions are supported by reasons that citizens can understand and examine openly.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Spoken in TEAM's candidate video, read through YouTube's automatic captions. No disclosure rule, report or change to how the city publishes its reasons is named, and there is no number, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which city decisions she considers to lack understandable reasons, and what she would require the city to publish.
Each entry below names its source. Campaign material is the candidate's own account. Nothing here is presented as a verified outcome unless the entry says so.

Statement
Statement on joining the TEAM council slate
In the party's nomination announcement Boggan said the contribution to TEAM is a focused, disciplined approach to how municipal decision-making works in practice, seen from the position of an ordinary Vancouver resident who lives with those decisions.
Candidate introduction video on TEAM’s YouTube channel
TEAM posted a video of Boggan speaking that runs 3 minutes 42 seconds. In the automatic captions she says she looks at whether city decisions stay within the powers the law gives the city, whether proper procedure is followed and whether reasons are justifiable. She says she has helped members of her community understand processes and ask for clear reasons, and that she comes from outside City Hall. The captions are made by a machine and contain errors, so voche.me quotes only the passages that read clearly.
Panelist at the Rights, Rhetoric & the Law town hall
Simon Fraser University's Summit repository lists a video, created on September 30, 2015, of a town hall on the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, constitutional law and the courts. The listing names three panelists: the Chief Justice of British Columbia, a professor at the University of British Columbia's Allard School of Law, and Amanda Boggan of the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council. voche.me matched the listing to the candidate by name and organisation only. The listing carries no words from any panelist. The Controlled Drugs and Substances Act is a federal law.
Listed as declining the Vote Palestine Vancouver platform
Vote Palestine Vancouver, a campaign group, lists Boggan as having declined its four-point platform. In the group's words the points are: condemn the genocide, sign the Apartheid Free Communities pledge, cut ties with Israeli institutions including reviewing contracts, and recognize the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association framework of anti-Palestinian racism. The group says its volunteers recorded the positions and that the list is current as of October 1. voche.me found no statement by Boggan herself on these points.
Records are labelled by type, including official findings, civil proceedings and political disputes where applicable. Each entry identifies the response found in the sources and the latest status verified for this page.

A dated reading list from independent publishers. The headings below are voche.me summaries; follow each link for the original article, context and any corrections.
Reporting
Daily Hive
TEAM adds five candidates for Vancouver election
Daily Hive listed TEAM's seven council candidates, including Boggan as a candidate announced earlier. The report gives background details for other candidates and none for Boggan.
Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
Daily Hive listed every candidate in the official ballot order, with Boggan as number 110 for city council under TEAM. The report gives no other detail about her.
Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No independent reporting about Boggan's own work or record was found by voche.me on October 3, 2026. Her presidency of the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council is stated by TEAM, and Wikipedia's election page repeats it. The council's own website lists her as a media contact on a page first posted in 2010 and last edited in 2014, and names another person as president in November 2013. A 2015 SFU listing names her as a panelist for the council. The years of a presidency are still unknown. TEAM's June 13 video was read through YouTube's automatic captions, which contain errors, and voche.me quotes only the passages that read clearly. It gives no number, cost or date for any measure. No interview, forum appearance or policy detail beyond the party page and the video was found. Women Transforming Cities' pledge table shows no response from her, and HUB Cycling's survey has no row for her. The minutes of the Public Hearing of June 28 to July 26, 2022 list a speaker named Amanda Boggan, with no other detail. voche.me has not matched that speaker to the candidate. A person who watches the meeting video could check it. The voche.me questionnaire has not been sent to this candidate. No public forum or debate appearance was confirmed for the period from October 3 to October 17, 2026.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on September 22, 2026: Current campaign material; biographical claims require corroboration.
Campaign page read on September 22, 2026. 2 stated positions and 3 background facts recorded here, each checked against a quotation from that page.
Checks still to do: Verify the organizational role and use original documents for any claim about improper government action.
On September 25, 2026 voche.me read TEAM's candidate video through its automatic captions, the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council's own website and an SFU listing of a 2015 panel, tagged each commitment to an issue, and searched for a dated action on each issue. It found none with a source outside the campaign.
On October 3, 2026 voche.me read the TEAM candidate page, TEAM's newest posts and video list, her VoteMate profile, the City's candidate list, the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council's website, the minutes of a 2022 Public Hearing, and the published results of three groups that asked candidates for their positions. It added one listed position, one news listing and one forum, and corrected the dates of the council's website page.
The ballot name, office, ballot number and party label come from the City's final candidate list. Everything described as campaign material is the campaign's own account and has not been confirmed by an independent source.

Experience & community
Dates not stated
President, Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council
TEAM's candidate page and its June 2026 announcement both name this past role, and the announcement calls Boggan a strong defender of local residents' rights. TEAM does not give the years in the role. The organisation's own website is described in the next entry.
Listed as a media contact, Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council
The council's own About page names Amanda Boggan under Media Contacts and gives no title. The page's own data shows it was first posted in May 2010 and last edited in August 2014, and the newest post on the council's website is dated September 25, 2014. A post on the same website dated November 14, 2013 says another person was the council's president at that time. A 2015 listing from Simon Fraser University names an Amanda Boggan of the council as a panelist at a town hall. voche.me matched these pages to the candidate by name and organisation only. None of them gives the years of a presidency.

06 / Candidate contributions
Space for campaign updates
October review: a listed position, a forum and a corrected date
voche.me searched again for statements, reporting, questionnaires and forums. Added: Vote Palestine Vancouver's record that she declined its platform, Daily Hive's ballot list of September 22, and the online food systems town hall on October 13, which does not name her. Corrected: the experience entry and the biography said the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council's About page carries no date. The page's own data shows it was first posted in May 2010 and last edited in August 2014, and a post on the same website names another person as the council's president in November 2013. Two biography paragraphs that repeated facts given in later paragraphs were removed. The research date moved to October 3, 2026. No calendar event fell before that date, so none was removed.
Three entries were reworded: one called the rule of law Boggan's central interest, one said she would press for access to information, and one said she focuses on four themes. TEAM's candidate page says she has a strong interest in the rule of law, access to information, transparency and government accountability, and that in her view public trust depends on decisions made within legal authority, through proper process and for reasons the public can follow. The entries now use those words. The profile summary named resident participation as a focus, which the page does not mention, so it now says transparency and accountability. The introduction called this her first run, and voche.me found no source for that, so the word is removed.
voche.me reopened the TEAM candidate page and the June 9 release, tagged all five commitments, and added two from TEAM's candidate video, read through YouTube's automatic captions. It also opened the Downtown Eastside Neighbourhood Council's own website and an SFU listing of a 2015 panel. Neither gives a title or years for the presidency.
