Leadership, housing, healthy neighbourhoods and climate
The 2026 Green Party candidate page says Reilly would restore respectful, solutions focused leadership at City Hall, make sure decisions put long term community wellbeing first, take practical action on housing affordability, support healthy neighbourhoods, and act on climate responsibility.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page lists these themes. It gives no specific measure, cost or date for any of them.
What still needs checking
Which specific motions or budget changes Reilly would bring forward for each theme.
Women Transforming Cities lists Reilly among the candidates who signed its Our City Hall Pledge, which asks council candidates to back six community priorities including more non-market housing, longer library hours and more public washrooms.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The organisation's page names Reilly as a signer. It does not publish separate wording from Reilly on each ask.
What still needs checking
What money and what council decisions Reilly would put behind each of the six asks.
In a March 2025 opinion piece, Reilly promised to fight to bring back the city's Renter's Office, which the ABC majority had closed, and to add citywide tenant protections including the right to return at the same rent after redevelopment, relocation support and fair compensation.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The opinion piece sets these out in Reilly's own words, written for the April 2025 by-election. The 2026 campaign pages do not repeat them.
What still needs checking
Whether Reilly still commits to reopening the Renter's Office in the 2026 campaign.
The same 2025 opinion piece promised to push for daytime shelters where people can rest, warm up or cool down and connect with health and housing services, by asking the province for funding and cutting municipal delays.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The piece names the goal and the two methods. It gives no number of shelters, no location and no cost.
What still needs checking
How many daytime shelters Reilly would open, where, and at what cost to the city.
The same piece promised to reverse the freeze on supportive housing approvals, cut permitting delays and strengthen partnerships with the province and non-profit organisations.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The piece states the commitment and notes that the city does not fund supportive housing but controls the speed of approvals. It gives no target number of units.
What still needs checking
How many supportive housing approvals Reilly would aim to clear, and by when.
The same piece committed Vancouver to the 3-30-300 standard: three trees visible from every home, 30 per cent tree canopy in every neighbourhood, and a park or green space within 300 metres of everyone.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The piece names the standard and the three numbers. It gives no date, budget or planting programme.
What still needs checking
What Vancouver's current canopy figure is and what it would cost to reach 30 per cent in every neighbourhood.
The same piece promised to lobby the province to let the Integrity Commissioner apply sanctions, to protect the office from political interference, and to make its investigations and reports fully public.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The piece states all three asks. The change would need provincial legislation, which the piece acknowledges by framing it as lobbying.
What still needs checking
Whether any province level work on these powers has started.
The party's September 16, 2026 housing release would set up pre-approved housing designs including prefabricated options with Build Canada Homes, require Canadian procurement and employment standards on major developments with an emphasis on mass timber and wood frame, simplify permits for low rise apartments, row homes, townhomes and infill, and update the Vancouver Building By-law.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party's platform. The release quotes mayoral candidate Pete Fry and does not quote Reilly.
What still needs checking
Whether Reilly has stated a position on pre-approved designs and the procurement rules.

Reporting
Daily Hive
Netflix actor to run for Green party in Vancouver City Council by-election
Reported Reilly as the Green Party's only candidate in the April 2025 by-election, with background on the film and television career and the board role at the Gender Equity in Film Society.
Green Party confirms four Vancouver City Council candidates for election
Reported that members chose Reilly, Camil Dumont, Bridget Burns and Stephanie Smith, and gave the full 2025 by-election vote counts. Party chair Nick Poppell explained the decision to run four candidates rather than the five allowed under the agreement with COPE and OneCity.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No interview or published statement by Reilly from the 2026 campaign was found. The detailed commitments in this record come from the April 2025 by-election, so it is an open question which ones carry into 2026. Two sources give different names for the film industry board role, Gender Equity in Media Society on Reilly's own site and Gender Equity in Film Society in Daily Hive's 2025 report, and which name is current could not be confirmed. The university degree rests on Daily Hive citing IMDb, which is a database that accepts submitted entries. Reilly has not held elected office, so there is no voting record. Health and family details published on the campaign pages are left out of this record.
