No action yetOur City Hall PledgePublic services · Own promise
Women Transforming Cities, a Vancouver charity that campaigns on City policy, asked every candidate for mayor and council to commit to six policy asks if elected. Its pledge page quotes Reilly saying she is proud to support the pledge and looks forward to prioritizing the asks on Council. Its results table marks her as committing to all six asks: housing access, transit and mobility, community spaces, food security, public washrooms and gender safety.
No action yetEnough housing that people can afford to live hereHousing · Own promise
In an opinion piece signed by Reilly and published in the Georgia Straight on September 25, 2026, she writes that City Hall can help build a city where a person can recover from one difficult chapter. She says that means building enough housing that people can afford to live in Vancouver, treating renters as people who are building lives in the city, and creating more stability for families and more options for people at different stages of life.
“That means building enough housing that people can actually afford to live here.”
No action yetOur City Hall Pledge: housing accessHousing · Own promise
The housing ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, has three parts. It asks candidates to increase co-op, social and supportive housing in every neighbourhood by changing zoning rules (the City’s rules on what can be built where) that delay non-market homes (also called social housing) within the first year of the term. It asks them to prioritize non-market housing on public land and to demand long-term funding from senior governments (the provincial and federal governments). It asks them to advance building upgrades that give low-carbon cooling during extreme heat, especially to low-income tenants.
“I am proud to support this pledge and look forward to prioritizing these asks on Council.”

The transit ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, asks candidates to advocate to the province for a low-income transit pass for people earning less than $40,000 a year, to speed up buses with measures that give buses priority on streets, such as dedicated bus lanes, with the goal of completing at least nine transit corridors by 2030, and to install more covered bus shelters, seating and lighting, especially in neighbourhoods with fewer resources.

“Reilly called for scaling up those efforts to “start taking those buildings and homes out of the speculative market and keep the rents low for artists.””
No action yetA permanent, more empowered arts committeeArts and culture · Own promise
Stir reported that Reilly said establishing a permanent, more empowered committee would make sure artists can speak out. Stir’s heading for the point calls it a permanent arts committee. Stir describes the existing arts and culture advisory committee as one that offers suggestions to Council and staff, and reports that a City staff proposal to dissolve it and nine other committees was withdrawn.
“Reilly said establishing a permanent, more empowered committee would make sure that “artists should be able to speak out”.”

01 / Introduction
About Annette Reilly
Annette Reilly appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 102. The City records the affiliation as Green Party of Vancouver.
The party page describes Reilly as a filmmaker, health advocate, and community organizer living in East Vancouver. The page says Reilly has worked in the film industry as an actor, director, producer, and First Assistant Director.
The Green Party candidate page describes Reilly as a filmmaker, health advocate and community organiser who lives in East Vancouver, and as a working parent and a renter.
Reilly's own campaign site says the current film work is as a first assistant director on feature films, managing crews of more than 100 people.
Daily Hive reported that Reilly had a recurring acting role in the Netflix series The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina in 2018 and 2019, appearing in seven episodes, and reported, citing IMDb, a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Victoria.
Reilly's own site gives the roles of board secretary and advocacy committee chair at the Gender Equity in Media Society. Daily Hive reported in February 2025 that Reilly serves on the board of the Gender Equity in Film Society.
Daily Hive reported that Reilly finished fourth in the April 2025 Vancouver City Council by-election with 15,045 votes, behind Colleen Hardwick of TEAM on 17,352 votes and behind the two elected candidates, Sean Orr of COPE and Lucy Maloney of OneCity.
The Vancouver and District Labour Council, which speaks for its member unions, says in a February 25, 2025 release that its delegates voted to endorse Reilly and Lucy Maloney in that by-election.
Daily Hive's ballot order list records Reilly at number 102 on the City Council ballot, under the Green Party of Vancouver banner.

Respectful, solutions-focused leadership at City Hall
The 2026 Green Party candidate page says Reilly is running for City Council to help restore respectful, solutions-focused leadership at City Hall and to ensure decisions are made with the long-term wellbeing of Vancouver’s communities in mind. VoteMate carries the same text, submitted by the candidate or the campaign.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is a statement of approach. The page names no measure, cost, number or date. The housing and climate sentence on the same page is recorded as separate commitments.
What still needs checking
Which City Hall rules or decisions Reilly would change to bring about respectful leadership, and how a reader could check that they changed.
Women Transforming Cities, a Vancouver charity that campaigns on City policy, asked every candidate for mayor and council to commit to six policy asks if elected. Its pledge page quotes Reilly saying she is proud to support the pledge and looks forward to prioritizing the asks on Council. Its results table marks her as committing to all six asks: housing access, transit and mobility, community spaces, food security, public washrooms and gender safety.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page carries one sentence from Reilly. The results table is an image, which voche.me read by eye and noted in the archived copy of the page. The asks are Women Transforming Cities’ wording, and each ask has its own commitment on this record.
What still needs checking
What money and which Council decisions Reilly would put behind each ask.
Enough housing that people can afford to live here
In an opinion piece signed by Reilly and published in the Georgia Straight on September 25, 2026, she writes that City Hall can help build a city where a person can recover from one difficult chapter. She says that means building enough housing that people can afford to live in Vancouver, treating renters as people who are building lives in the city, and creating more stability for families and more options for people at different stages of life.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is Reilly’s own signed piece. It names no bylaw, budget line, number, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which City rules or budget decisions Reilly would use to build the housing and create the stability she describes.
The housing ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, has three parts. It asks candidates to increase co-op, social and supportive housing in every neighbourhood by changing zoning rules (the City’s rules on what can be built where) that delay non-market homes (also called social housing) within the first year of the term. It asks them to prioritize non-market housing on public land and to demand long-term funding from senior governments (the provincial and federal governments). It asks them to advance building upgrades that give low-carbon cooling during extreme heat, especially to low-income tenants.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is Women Transforming Cities’ wording. Reilly’s own words are the one sentence quoted from the pledge page, and the results table records her yes. The ask gives no number of homes and no cost. It sets one date, the first year of the term.
What still needs checking
How many non-market homes Reilly would aim for, which zoning rules she would change, and what the change would cost.
The transit ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, asks candidates to advocate to the province for a low-income transit pass for people earning less than $40,000 a year, to speed up buses with measures that give buses priority on streets, such as dedicated bus lanes, with the goal of completing at least nine transit corridors by 2030, and to install more covered bus shelters, seating and lighting, especially in neighbourhoods with fewer resources.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is Women Transforming Cities’ wording. Reilly’s own words are the one sentence quoted from the pledge page, and the results table records her yes. The bus-lane measure sets a goal of at least nine corridors by 2030. The source writes the number as the word nine, so this record holds the year as the timeline and holds no target fragment. The ask gives no cost. The transit pass is a request to the province.
What still needs checking
Which corridors Reilly would put first, what the bus lanes and shelters would cost, and where the money would come from.
Stir reported that at the arts and culture all-candidates meeting at the Museum of Vancouver on September 22, 2026, Reilly said arts and culture groups need multiyear funding.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stir quotes one sentence from Reilly. It gives no dollar amount, number of years, budget line or date. The meeting was broadcast live online, and voche.me has not watched the recording.
What still needs checking
How many years of funding, for which grants, and from which part of the City budget.
Stir reported that Reilly called for expanding the cultural land trust so that buildings and homes are taken out of the speculative market and rents stay low for artists. Stir describes Vancouver’s nonprofit 221A, Canada’s first cultural land trust, as aiming to acquire and look after properties for permanent cultural use and rent them to operators at fixed rates.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stir quotes one sentence from Reilly. It gives no number of buildings, cost or date for her proposal. Stir also reports a July 2026 Council motion on a cultural land trust, and voche.me has not opened the Council record.
What still needs checking
How many buildings Reilly would aim for, at what cost, and who would pay for the purchases.
Stir reported that Reilly said establishing a permanent, more empowered committee would make sure artists can speak out. Stir’s heading for the point calls it a permanent arts committee. Stir describes the existing arts and culture advisory committee as one that offers suggestions to Council and staff, and reports that a City staff proposal to dissolve it and nine other committees was withdrawn.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stir quotes one sentence from Reilly. It does not say which powers the committee would have or when it would start.
What still needs checking
What powers the committee would have, and whether Reilly would give it a part in deciding grants.
The community spaces ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, asks candidates to extend library hours and support library workers with adequate staffing and a living wage, to report how many City properties are underused and give community groups priority access and subsidized rent, and to work with independent arts and culture venues and queer spaces to reform permit and bylaw (City law) barriers.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is Women Transforming Cities’ wording. Reilly’s own words are the one sentence quoted from the pledge page, and the results table records her yes. The ask gives no number of library hours, no cost and no date.
What still needs checking
How many library hours Reilly would add, which properties she would open, and what the changes would cost.
The food security ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, asks candidates to increase the City’s Sustainable Food Systems Grant and add an Indigenous Food Sovereignty Grant starting in the 2027 budget, to provide City-owned real estate for a South Vancouver Community Food Hub, and to direct the City Manager to create at least four food planner roles.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is Women Transforming Cities’ wording. Reilly’s own words are the one sentence quoted from the pledge page, and the results table records her yes. Food policy sits outside the ten issues voche.me scores for City Council candidates, so this commitment earns no points.
What still needs checking
The size of the grant increase and the cost of the four roles.
The public washrooms ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, asks candidates to install prefabricated public toilets in high-need areas or set up portable toilets for the short term, to increase funding for maintaining and upgrading existing City and Park Board washrooms, and to partner with Downtown Eastside service providers and other governments to sustain hygiene services such as mobile washrooms, staffed washrooms, showers and laundry facilities.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is Women Transforming Cities’ wording. Reilly’s own words are the one sentence quoted from the pledge page, and the results table records her yes. Public washrooms sit outside the ten issues voche.me scores for City Council candidates, so this commitment earns no points.
What still needs checking
How many washrooms Reilly would add and what they would cost.
The gender safety ask, which the results table marks Reilly as committing to, asks candidates to fund the City’s work on the Calls for Justice and the Red Women Rising recommendations as the ask names them, to reinstate the second Sex Worker Safety Planner role and give drop-in spaces for sex workers sustainable funding, and to carry out survivor-led safety and violence prevention strategies on time, including the safety and inclusion action plan the ask names.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is Women Transforming Cities’ wording. Reilly’s own words are the one sentence quoted from the pledge page, and the results table records her yes. The ask concerns violence prevention and safety planning for particular groups. The public safety issue covers policing, fire rescue and street disorder programs, so voche.me tags this ask to no scored issue and it earns no points.

In a March 2025 opinion piece written for the April 2025 by-election, Reilly said that if elected she would fight to bring back the city’s Renter’s Office, which the piece says Mayor Ken Sim and the ABC majority dismantled, and make it stronger.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The opinion piece sets this out in Reilly’s own words. The 2026 pages voche.me read do not repeat it, so it stays earlier-term material.
What still needs checking
Whether Reilly still commits to reopening the Renter's Office in the 2026 campaign.
The same 2025 opinion piece said Vancouver should set the standard for enforceable tenant protections across the city: return to the same home at the same rent after redevelopment, real relocation support and fair compensation, and tighter rules where renters now lose protection.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The piece lists these as what real tenant protections would mean. It names no bylaw, number or date, and the 2026 pages voche.me read do not repeat it.
What still needs checking
Which tenant protections Reilly would still bring forward in 2026, and through which City rules.

Vancity Lookout reported in February 2025 that Reilly said she wants stronger tenancy protections across the city and better standards of maintenance for rental housing.

The report gives her aim in one sentence. It names no bylaw, number or date, and the 2026 pages voche.me read do not repeat it.

Which maintenance standards Reilly would set, and how the City would enforce them.
The same 2025 opinion piece said Reilly would push for daytime shelters, meaning safe places where people can rest, warm up or cool down, get basic care, and connect with health and housing services. It names three methods: advocating for provincial funding, cutting what it calls municipal red tape (City procedures that slow things down), and working with communities.
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.

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 said Reilly wants Vancouver to meet 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 as a goal. It gives no date, budget or planting program. The party’s 2026 platform also adopts the standard, and no statement in it is from Reilly, so this entry stays earlier-term material.
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 says Pete Fry’s plan would launch pre-approved housing designs, including prefabricated options, with Build Canada Homes; champion Canadian procurement and employment requirements on major developments while prioritizing mass timber (large engineered wood panels and beams) and wood-frame construction; streamline permits for low-rise apartments, row homes, townhomes and infill; and support the Vancouver Building By-law in allowing new building solutions for climate, mechanical systems and building shape, with examples such as mass timber, exits and elevators, patios and floor-area exemptions.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party’s platform. The release quotes mayoral candidate Pete Fry and does not name Reilly, so it is recorded as the party’s platform and earns her no points of her own.

HUB Cycling, a regional cycling charity, asked candidates whether they support three asks. Its published Vancouver answers record Reilly as answering yes to all three: 30 km/h speeds on local streets with traffic calming on routes to school, doing this safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and joining local bike routes to the regional network with lanes separated from traffic. Her one written comment, on the first ask, says that as a mother she wants these changes made.

Green Party 2026 platform: affordability targets and a fund to buy rental buildings
The party’s platform release, dated September 29, 2026, says the Greens would measure affordability against what residents earn, with targets set at 30 per cent of median household income in place of market rents, and would create a fund to let the City buy rental buildings at risk of being lost to speculation. The full platform also proposes to restore the Renter’s Office and to strengthen the City’s tenant relocation and protection policy.

Green Party 2026 platform: the 3-30-300 standard and cooler public spaces
The party’s platform release says the Greens would adopt the 3-30-300 standard (three trees visible from every home, 30 per cent tree canopy in every neighbourhood, a green space within 300 metres of every resident) and would give residents better access to cooling, clean air and shade during extreme heat and wildfire smoke.

Statement
Statement on being named the Green candidate for the by-election
In the party release reported by Daily Hive, Reilly said that as a working mother and renter the everyday pressures on Vancouver residents were familiar, listed housing affordability, small business support, safety and climate action as the issues, and said Vancouver had lost confidence in the mayor and council.
Opinion: From renter to candidate, why I'm fighting for a fairer Vancouver
Five days before the by-election, Reilly published a Daily Hive opinion piece setting out commitments on the Renter's Office, citywide tenant protections, daytime shelters, supportive housing approvals, the 3-30-300 greening standard and stronger powers for the Integrity Commissioner.
Women Transforming Cities published a one-sentence statement from Reilly saying she is proud to support its pledge and will make its asks a priority on Council. Its results table marks her as committing to all six asks.
Remarks at the arts, culture and heritage candidates forum
Stir reported that at the forum held by the BC Coalition of Arts, Culture, and Heritage at the Museum of Vancouver, Reilly called for multiyear funding for arts groups, for a larger cultural land trust to keep rents low for artists, and for a permanent arts committee with more power.
Reilly wrote that City Hall can help build a city where a person can recover from a hard time in life. She named enough housing that people can afford, renters treated as people building lives in the city, and more stability for families.
Reilly answered yes to all three of HUB Cycling’s asks: 30 km/h local streets with traffic calming, safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and joining local bike routes to the regional network. She added one sentence of her own on the first ask. The answers carry no date, so this date is the day voche.me read them.

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.
Why Three Parties Cut a Deal Before Vancouver’s Byelection
Reported that COPE, OneCity and the Greens each ran one candidate in the 2025 by-election, and named Reilly as the Greens’ candidate, describing her as an actor and health advocate.
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.
Stir Cheat Sheet: 5 takeaways from the City of Vancouver candidates forum on arts, culture, and heritage
Reported what candidates said at the September 22 arts forum and quoted Reilly on multiyear funding, the cultural land trust and a permanent arts committee.
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 2026 interview with Reilly was found. Her 2026 statements are the party candidate page and her own website (a reason for running and four values, with no measures), a signed opinion piece in the Georgia Straight published on September 25, 2026, Stir’s report of her remarks at the September 22, 2026 arts and culture forum, the Women Transforming Cities pledge page, which quotes her and marks her as committing to six policy asks, and HUB Cycling’s published survey answers, where she answered yes to three asks and wrote one sentence. The party’s 2026 platform, released September 29, 2026, lists her as a council candidate and holds no statement from her. The promises on her VoteMate profile are labelled Green promises and quote that platform. The detailed commitments from the April 2025 by-election appear on no 2026 page in her own words, so they stay marked as earlier-term material, though the party platform repeats several of them. Women Transforming Cities held a council candidates debate on September 16, 2026, and the arts forum on September 22 was broadcast live; voche.me has not watched either recording. Her two campaign videos could not be read. Business in Vancouver returned HTTP 403 and was not opened. No source found by October 3, 2026 names her as taking part in the September 23 Mount Pleasant meeting, the September 29 Candid Candidates event or the October 1 Last Candidate Standing event. The Gender Equity in Media Society Vancouver team page lists Reilly as Secretary, elected October 8, 2024. Her Bio page and Daily Hive’s 2025 report call the society the Gender Equity in Film Society, and her home page and the society’s own site use the name Gender Equity in Media Society. 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. Campaign finance statements for the 2026 election are filed after voting day. Health and family details published on the campaign pages are left out of this record.

Space for campaign updates
October review: new statements, coverage and a cleaner calendar
voche.me read her pages and the party’s pages again and searched for new reporting. Added: her HUB Cycling survey answers, the Green Party’s September 29 platform as party text, the Labour Council’s 2025 endorsement, coverage from CBC, The Tyee, Vancity Lookout, Stir and Daily Hive, and talks entries for her pledge statement, her arts forum remarks and her Georgia Straight piece. Removed from the calendar: the September 23 Mount Pleasant meeting, the September 29 Candid Candidates event and the October 1 Last Candidate Standing event, which have passed and for which no source names her as taking part. The Mount Pleasant organizer’s list named Stephanie Smith as the Green council candidate there. Corrected: the by-election paragraph gave the two winners a rounded vote total taken from Daily Hive, and now names them without a vote count.
Score review of every commitment
voche.me checked each commitment against the archived page it cites and tagged it by issue and by whose words it is. The leadership entry said Reilly would restore leadership at City Hall, and the page says she is running to help restore it. The sentence on housing, healthy neighbourhoods and climate on the same page is now two commitments, one for housing and one for climate. The Our City Hall Pledge entry said Reilly signed the pledge. Women Transforming Cities’ page says candidates said yes, so the entry now says its results table marks her as committing to each of the six asks, and each ask has its own entry. The Renter’s Office entry also held the tenant protections in the same 2025 piece, and those are now a separate entry. The daytime shelter entry said cutting municipal delays, and the piece says cutting municipal red tape. The 3-30-300 entry said Reilly committed Vancouver to the standard, and the piece says she wants Vancouver to meet it. The party housing entry said the plan would require Canadian procurement rules and update the Vancouver Building By-law, and the release says it would champion Canadian procurement and employment requirements and support the by-law. The integrity entry said local government should be based on public service, and the page says grounded in it.
Pledge wording no longer scored as her own plan
The asks on the Women Transforming Cities pledge page are written by that organization. Annette Reilly’s statement of support earns the position point on housing, transport and culture. The mechanism and timeline points that had been taken from the wording of the asks were removed. Her culture mechanism point comes from her own words quoted by Stir.
