This record covers Bhavna Solecki, candidate number 115 for Vancouver City Council with Vote Vancouver. It draws on the City's candidate list, the campaign page, her VoteMate profile, her answers to HUB Cycling's 2026 survey, two organizations' lists of candidate positions, Vancouver Sun and CTV News reporting from 2024 and 2025 in which Solecki spoke as a tenant of a Kerrisdale rental building, and a local report of her speech at a November 2024 rally.
The score counts how complete and checkable the published plan on this issue is. Whether the plan would work is a separate question, left to the reader. Measured October 3, 2026. The same seven points apply to every candidate for this office.

01 / Introduction
About Bhavna Solecki
Bhavna Solecki appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 115. The City records the affiliation as Vote Vancouver.
The Vote Vancouver candidate page describes Solecki as an entrepreneur, clinical researcher and community leader with decades of experience building businesses, developing products and writing licensing and partnership agreements for publicly traded companies. The page says she worked through Health Canada and United States Food and Drug Administration rules, the approval systems for health products in the two countries, for several companies.
The campaign page says Solecki has volunteered with non-profit organisations and has advocated for affordable housing for seniors.
The Vancouver Sun reported on July 20, 2024 that Solecki had lived in a Kerrisdale apartment building for 15 years, and reported on August 27, 2024 that the period was almost 16 years.
The Vancouver Sun reported that Solecki was one of several residents who spoke to Vancouver city council at the July 9, 2024 public hearing about the building's condition and the owner's record.
CTV News reported on August 27, 2024 that Solecki, whom it called a long-time resident of the same building, said the heating problem was one of many there and that tenants' complaints to the City had brought little result.
Daily Hive reported on May 25, 2026 that Vote Vancouver had endorsed Solecki as a council candidate, describing Solecki as a scientific researcher and seniors' advocate.
Daily Hive published the full ballot order on September 22, 2026, listing Solecki at number 115 for council with Vote Vancouver.
In HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey, Solecki answered yes to all three of the group's asks on slower local streets, street safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and connected bike routes. Women Transforming Cities marks her as committing to all six asks of its Our City Hall Pledge.
CityHallWatch lists Solecki as a speaker on housing, seniors and City Hall at the Pause the Plan rally at Vancouver City Hall on November 23, 2024, and Dunbar News reported that she spoke about the impact of the housing crisis on seniors. She spoke as a tenant, before she was a candidate.
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.

Programs that let people stay in their homes as they age
The Vote Vancouver candidate page says Solecki is running for council to bring modern community programs that allow aging in place.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stated on the Vote Vancouver candidate page and repeated word for word in the biography on her VoteMate profile, which the profile says was submitted by the candidate or the team. Neither names a program, a budget, a number or a date. voche.me files the commitment under "other" because the text names no housing measure and no instrument the City can adopt.
What still needs checking
Which programs Solecki would fund and at what cost.
In July 2024, as a tenant, Solecki said in a statement that council must stay engaged with the tenants’ situation to make sure maintenance is properly enforced, and that oversight is needed in the process.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The Vancouver Sun quoted the statement in a report published July 25, 2024, before Solecki was a candidate. The 2026 campaign page and the VoteMate profile do not repeat it, so it stays earlier material and earns no score.
What still needs checking
Whether Solecki proposes a specific enforcement rule during the 2026 campaign.
The Vote Vancouver housing page says its mayoral candidate, Rebecca Bligh, will support new approaches to seniors housing, including Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (buildings and neighbourhoods where many older people already live), and will work to replace unsafe single-room occupancy buildings (buildings of small single rooms) with affordable supportive housing.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is the party’s published housing platform. The page is written in Bligh’s name and does not name Solecki. It gives no numbers or dates. voche.me found no separate statement by Solecki on these items as of September 25, 2026.
What still needs checking
Whether Solecki states a position on each of these items during the campaign.

Affordable housing for seniors
The campaign page says Solecki has been advocating for seniors’ affordable housing solutions. The same sentence says she has volunteered her time to numerous non-profit organizations.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Stated on the Vote Vancouver candidate page and repeated in the biography on her VoteMate profile. It describes advocacy she says she has done. It names no housing measure, number, cost or date. No independent confirmation of the volunteering was found.
What still needs checking
Which housing measures for seniors Solecki would propose to Council, at what cost and by when.
HUB Cycling asked candidates to support 30 km/h speeds on local streets, with traffic calming for young people travelling to and from school. Solecki answered yes and wrote that "we" support Vision Zero Vancouver, a road safety program, and that safe, lower speeds are the first part of lowering the chance of a crash.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The 30 km/h ask is HUB Cycling's wording, and her answer does not repeat the speed limit. Her answer names no street, number, cost or date, and it carries no date of its own.
What still needs checking
Whether she supports the 30 km/h limit in her own words, and which streets she would change first.
Street safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first
HUB Cycling asked candidates to put speed reductions and quick street safety upgrades in neighbourhoods that have been underserved in the past first. Solecki answered yes and wrote that "we" commit to a plan for walking, cycling and rolling in those neighbourhoods first.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Her answer accepts the ask. It names no neighbourhood, number, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which neighbourhoods she would put first, and how she would choose them.
HUB Cycling asked candidates to join local bike routes to the regional network faster, with routes separated from traffic. Solecki answered yes and wrote that she would like to see more of the new bike routes built for people of all ages and abilities, joining bike lanes to major routes.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Her answer supports the ask. It names no route, length, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which routes she would build first, at what cost, and by when.
Women Transforming Cities, a Vancouver charity, asked candidates to commit to six asks: housing access, transit and mobility, community spaces, food security, public washrooms and gender safety. Its results table marks Solecki as committing to all six.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The results table is an image with no text version, which voche.me read by eye. The page carries no words from Solecki, and the wording of each ask belongs to the charity.

This is party text. The document is written around Rebecca Bligh, the party's candidate for mayor, and names Solecki only in its candidate list. It gives no cost or date.
What still needs checking
Whether Solecki states her own position on the help desk, and what it would cost.
The Vote Vancouver policy priorities document lists a prepaid parking pass for seniors, so that people who do not use smartphones can park without a parking app, and protecting short-term, affordable parking near medical buildings and places that serve seniors.

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.
Reported by the Vancouver Sun; Council minutes not opened
Spoke to Council at the public hearing on a Kerrisdale rezoning
The Vancouver Sun reported that Solecki was one of several residents of the Kerrisdale rental building where she lives who told Vancouver City Council about problems in the building, including a faulty boiler, at the July 9, 2024 public hearing. The owner was asking to build a second tower on the site.
Scope, limits and sources
Solecki spoke as a tenant, before she was a candidate. voche.me has not seen the Council minutes or the speaker list, which the City’s site blocks. The Sun says Council then adjourned its decision and approved the rezoning with added conditions on July 23, 2024.
Speaker list and a local news report; no recording of the speech seen
Spoke at the Pause the Plan rally at City Hall
CityHallWatch, which says it was facilitating the November 23, 2024 rally to ask Council to pause the Broadway Plan, listed Solecki as a speaker on “Housing, seniors, and City Hall”. Dunbar News reported that she described the impact of the housing crisis on seniors.
Scope, limits and sources
The Dunbar News report is a first-person account by a writer who says they promoted the rally. It also says Solecki led the residents of her building in their dispute with the landlord. That description is the writer’s own and voche.me has not confirmed it. Solecki spoke as a tenant, before she was a candidate.
Kerrisdale rezoning held back, then approved with added conditions
After Solecki and other tenants spoke at the July 9, 2024 public hearing about the owner's maintenance record, council adjourned the final decision and asked staff to write extra conditions that the owner would have to meet before the new development could proceed. Council approved the rezoning with those conditions on July 23, 2024.
Scope, limits and sources
Solecki was one of the residents who spoke, and is not a council member, so the decision belongs to the councillors who voted for it. The Vancouver Sun reported in August 2024 that repairs were still outstanding a month after approval.
Announced by the campaign; attendance and content not confirmed
Listed as an organizer of the South Asians for Vote Vancouver evening
An Eventbrite listing names “Bhavna Solecki & Vote Vancouver” as the organizer of an evening called South Asians for Vote Vancouver, on Monday, June 1, 2026, from 6 pm to 9 pm at Fraserview Banquet Hall in Vancouver. Its description invites people to support mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh, council candidate Bhavna Solecki and the Vote Vancouver team. The page marks the event as ended.
Scope, limits and sources
The page data gives the date as June 1, 2026. voche.me found no report of what was said. The title names the party, so voche.me files this as a campaign event with no issue tag.

Statement
Answers to HUB Cycling's election survey
Solecki answered yes to all three of HUB Cycling's asks: 30 km/h local streets with traffic calming, street safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and joining local bike routes to the regional network. Her short written answers support Vision Zero Vancouver and lower speeds, commit to a walking and cycling plan in underserved neighbourhoods first, and ask for more bike routes for all ages and abilities. The answers carry no date, so this date is the day voche.me read them.
Listed as declining the Vote Palestine Vancouver platform
Vote Palestine Vancouver, a campaign group, lists Solecki 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, 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 Solecki herself on these points.
Quoted in a Vancouver Sun column about a second tower planned for the block, Solecki said the city calls itself the greenest city while removing the smallest green spaces, and called the gardens the lungs of the neighbourhood.
CityHallWatch listed Solecki as the speaker on “Housing, seniors, and City Hall”. Dunbar News reported that she described the impact of the housing crisis on seniors. voche.me did not find the text of the speech on the pages it read.
Solecki told the Vancouver Sun that tenants, most of them seniors, were wearing extra layers indoors after weeks without working heat, said the situation was inhumane, and said tenants were frustrated with the city over the lack of action.
CTV News called Solecki a long-time resident of the Kerrisdale building. She said the lack of heat was an ongoing problem and one of many there, that in winter seniors had bundled up and turned on their kitchen stoves for warmth, and that the problems began after Larco Investments took over. CTV reported that she and another tenant said many complaints to the City had brought little result. She said people's voices have to be heard.
Solecki said in a statement that council must stay engaged with the tenants’ situation to make sure maintenance is properly enforced, and that oversight is needed in the process.
Solecki described how the building was run before it changed hands in 2020, alleged that contractors were not doing repairs because they were not being paid, said as many as nine units stood empty, and pointed to rents of $3,240 a month for a one-bedroom and $5,100 a month for a three-bedroom unit at another building owned by the same company.

Vote Vancouver endorsed a mayoral candidate and eight others. Solecki was named as a council candidate and described as a scientific researcher and seniors' advocate.
A first-person account of the November 23, 2024 rally by a writer who promoted it. It names Solecki among the tenants who spoke and says she described the impact of the housing crisis on seniors.
'We are being poisoned': Tenants 'baffled' at Vancouver's inaction over apartment tower's air quality problems
A follow-up column reported that heat returned to the Kerrisdale building the day the earlier story ran, with Solecki calling it a relief for many residents.
'It's inhumane': Freezing Kerrisdale tenants frustrated with city, landlord over problem building
Reporting on weeks without working heat in a Kerrisdale building, built around interviews with Solecki and other residents, and setting out the July 2024 council decisions on the site.
A report on older tenants of a Kerrisdale building who said they had to keep asking for working elevators and heat. It quotes Solecki and another tenant, Councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung on the conditions Council attached to the rezoning, and the City, which said an inspector had confirmed the boiler was working again.
Track record cited: Tenants fed up with developer want Vancouver to order buildings fixed before more rezoning
Reporting on tenants asking the city to require repairs before approving more development, with Solecki quoted as the tenant of the Kerrisdale building.
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 source confirms the business and regulatory career described on the party page, and the page gives no company names, education or dates. Two older pages, from 2016 and 2017, name a person called Bhavna Solecki in Vancouver in health and business roles. Neither mentions the 2026 candidacy, so voche.me has not used them. The building's street address appears in the news reports but is left out here because it is a home address. Her LinkedIn page, which the City's candidate list links, returned HTTP 999, and her Instagram page showed only a sign-in page, so neither could be read. The Council minutes of the July 9, 2024 public hearing returned HTTP 403, and a reader service returned only a security check page, so her place on the speaker list is still not confirmed from the official record. No reporting on her 2026 campaign was found beyond the party announcement and the ballot list, and no record was found of any earlier run for office. On October 3, 2026 no forum or debate that names Solecki was found for October 3 to 17. The Vancouver Food Justice Coalition says it will publish candidate answers on its food platform, and none were published on that date.

03 / Background
Experience & community
2024 to 2025
Tenant who spoke publicly about a Kerrisdale rental building
Vancouver Sun reporting over this period shows Solecki speaking as a tenant of a Kerrisdale building owned by Larco Investments, raising a failing boiler, stalled repairs and empty units, writing to councillors, and objecting to a rezoning that would add a second tower on the block. The Sun reported that more than 65 percent of the residents were seniors, according to Solecki.

Space for campaign updates
October review: survey answers, two lists, a forum and a CTV report
voche.me searched again for statements, reporting, questionnaires and forums. Added: her answers to HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey, recorded as three transportation commitments and a priority; the Women Transforming Cities pledge results, which mark her as committing to all six asks; Vote Palestine Vancouver's list, which records her as declining its platform; two seniors items from the party's policy priorities document, recorded as party text; the City's candidate list, read through a reader service; a CTV News report of August 27, 2024 that quotes her as a tenant, which could not be read on September 25; and the online food systems town hall on October 13, which does not name her. Corrections: the Eventbrite entry said the listing shows no year, and the page data gives June 1, 2026, so the entry now says so. Two biography paragraphs repeated the same campaign page text, and they are now one paragraph. The research date moved to October 3, 2026. No calendar event fell before that date, so none was removed.
voche.me reopened the campaign page, the VoteMate profile, the party housing page and the Vancouver Sun reports behind each commitment and compared the wording. The seniors housing entry said Solecki had volunteered with non-profit groups and argued for affordable housing for seniors. The page gives the volunteering and the advocacy for seniors’ affordable housing solutions in one sentence, and the entry now follows that sentence. The aging in place entry appeared twice with the same source sentence, and one copy said city programs where the page says community programs, so the two are now one entry. The party housing entry said the party would replace single-room occupancy buildings. The page says the party’s mayoral candidate will work to replace unsafe ones with affordable supportive housing, and the entry now says so. The maintenance oversight entry records a statement Solecki made as a tenant in July 2024. The 2026 pages do not repeat it, so it is now earlier material. Two Vancouver Sun entries said Solecki gave a written statement. The Sun says only that she said it in a statement, so the word written is removed. The entry on rents now says she alleged that contractors were not doing repairs, which is how the Sun words it. The experience entry called her a tenant spokesperson and a coverage entry called her the main tenant voice. The Sun calls her a tenant and quotes her as the tenant of the building, so both entries now say that.
Public actions on housing added to the record
voche.me added two dated actions that independent sources report: her account to Council at the July 9, 2024 public hearing on a Kerrisdale rezoning (Vancouver Sun), and her speech at the November 23, 2024 Pause the Plan rally at City Hall (a CityHallWatch speaker list and a Dunbar News report). Both took place before she was a candidate. The Council decision of July 23, 2024 stays on the record and no longer carries an issue tag, because it is Council’s action. An Eventbrite listing that names her as an organizer of a June 1 evening was added with no issue tag.
