Interview
Georgia Straight
Vancouver resident Amir Bajehkian builds bridges in hopes of creating a more equal Canada
A profile by Charlie Smith covering the move from Iran in 2005, studies at the University of Victoria and BCIT, work as a flight data analyst, the role as president of Green Cedar Consulting, work with Farsi speaking communities from 2014, and membership of the provincial Multicultural Advisory Council. The article says Bajehkian was then seeking a nomination to run for Vancouver Park Board with the Coalition of Progressive Electors.
New members appointed to Multicultural Advisory Council
Reported the appointment of eight members to the provincial Multicultural Advisory Council, including Bajehkian, and described the council's advisory role under the Provincial Multiculturalism Act.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
The Georgia Straight profile of March 2022 says Bajehkian was seeking a Coalition of Progressive Electors nomination for Park Board that year. The Wikipedia results table for the 2022 Vancouver municipal election does not list the name among Park Board candidates, so the nomination appears not to have been won, but no source confirming the outcome was found and the record is left open. LinkedIn and X both refuse automated requests, so no profile page was read. The City of Vancouver website refuses automated requests, so no official candidate filing was checked. No reporting on Bajehkian from 2023 to 2026 was found, and no interview, speech or public forum appearance from the 2026 campaign was found. The dates of the airport roles and of the Green Cedar Consulting role are not stated in any source opened. The Vancouver Liberals' $1.35 billion parks plan is named only on the candidate page, with no supporting party document opened.
