This record covers Caitlin Stockwell, ballot number 149 for Vancouver City Council with OneCity Vancouver. It draws on the candidate's own campaign site and its blog posts about four of her Council speeches, her Bluesky and Instagram posts, OneCity releases and posts that name her, a 2022 park board candidate survey, the Women Transforming Cities pledge, HUB Cycling's published survey answers, the Vote Palestine Vancouver candidate list, Council minutes for two of the meetings she spoke at, her law firm's staff page, the Vancouver and District Labour Council's endorsement list, and news reporting on the May 2026 nomination.
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.

Caitlin Stockwell appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 149. The City records the affiliation as OneCity.
The party page describes Stockwell as a lawyer who works for Indigenous governments. The party page says Stockwell works as an unpaid lawyer for tenants.
Stockwell appears at ballot number 149 in the City Council race as a OneCity Vancouver candidate, in the ballot order Daily Hive published on September 22, 2026.
OneCity nominated Stockwell for City Council in May 2026, alongside Frances Bula, Lucy Maloney, Iona Bonamis and Jarrett Hagglund. Both the Georgia Straight and Daily Hive described Stockwell as an Indigenous rights lawyer.
The campaign site says Stockwell works as a lawyer representing Indigenous governments, including supporting First Nation councils on decision-making structures and election processes.
The OneCity candidate page describes Stockwell as a climate advocate and a lawyer working on Indigenous government representation who has also volunteered as legal counsel on tenants' rights, and says the campaign is funded by individual donors.
A 2022 park board candidate survey published by the Vancouver Public Space Network describes Stockwell as a lawyer at First Peoples Law and a Strathcona resident who holds a background in climate policy and environmental law.
The campaign site says Stockwell sits on the board of the Wilderness Committee, an environmental non-profit working on climate action and wildlife protection.
The campaign site says Stockwell has given free legal help to tenants in residential tenancy disputes and has volunteered with OneCity for more than four years on its engagement committee.
Stockwell ran for Vancouver Park Board with OneCity in the October 2022 election and received 36,856 votes, or 21.49 percent, finishing ninth. Seven commissioners were elected, so Stockwell did not win a seat.

First motion on community centre funding
The campaign site says one of the first motions Stockwell would introduce as a councillor would address the planning and funding gaps for community centres, because Park Board manages the centres while City Council pays for them.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The campaign site states the plan and the reason. It names no dollar figure, no list of centres and no date.
What still needs checking
How much new money the motion would ask for, and which centres would be covered first.
The campaign site says Stockwell wants neighbourhoods that hold a mix of housing types, including non-market and social housing, and points to Strathcona as an example where co-ops, seniors housing, supportive housing, market homes, multiplexes and walk-ups sit side by side.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The campaign site states the goal and the model. It sets no target for the number of non-market homes and no funding source.
What still needs checking
How many non-market homes Stockwell would aim to add per year and who would pay for them.
On November 25, 2025, Council passed a 0% property tax budget that Stockwell says cut funding for the arts, parks and recreation, and sustainability work with little detail. She told Council the budget gave zero information and zero strategy for the people struggling most, and asked members to vote against it.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Her blog post gives no dollar total for the cuts it describes and no alternative budget figure of her own. The Council minutes of November 25, 2025 confirm the budget passed with an overall property tax increase of 0%, with Councillors Bligh, Fry, Maloney and Orr opposed. The minutes do not list the public speakers by name, so they neither confirm nor rule out her speech.
What still needs checking
What Stockwell would fund instead, and by how much, in the next budget.
The campaign site says Stockwell will always put safe active transportation and public transit first as an essential part of a healthy, livable community.

What still needs checking
Which specific bike routes or transit projects Stockwell would push for as a councillor.
The campaign site says Stockwell will keep working on climate action and environmental protection at City Hall, and criticizes the current council majority for rolling back climate measures. It points to nearly 20 years of her own advocacy work, including as a board member of the Wilderness Committee.

The campaign site states the commitment and her record of advocacy. It names no specific policy she would restore or introduce as a councillor.

In a 2022 park board candidate survey, Stockwell said Vancouver needs a connected and safe cycling network, that cycling paths through parks should be distinct from pedestrian paths, that parks should have secure bike parking, and that she supports a permanent bike lane in Stanley Park.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is a 2022 park board survey answer about park board powers over roads and paths inside parks, a different office than the one Stockwell is running for in 2026. Her 2026 campaign site repeats only a general commitment to active transportation, not these specific proposals, so this stays material from an earlier campaign.
What still needs checking
Whether Stockwell still supports a permanent Stanley Park bike lane now that Park Board, not Council, decides that.
In a OneCity release she announced with the party on September 16, 2026, Stockwell said Vancouver needs well-lit streets, parks, pathways and bus stops, under a plan called ReLight Vancouver. The plan would set one lighting standard for every neighbourhood, add new well-lit bus stops, run a safety audit of sightlines and blind corners, and ban hostile architecture (design added to public benches and shelters to stop people from sitting or lying down) on city-owned benches and bus shelters.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The release names these measures. It gives no number of stops or streets it would light, no cost, and no date for the work, only saying the party's full public safety plan would follow in the coming weeks.
What still needs checking
How many streets and stops the plan would light, what it would cost and which budget pays.
In OneCity's Progressive Public Safety Plan release, Stockwell said everyone should be able to use parks, paths and bus stops safely after dark, not only in daylight.

Her quote is one supporting line in a party release that Councillor Lucy Maloney announced. It names no specific measure, number, cost or date of her own.

On January 21, 2026, Stockwell spoke to Council in support of a motion by Councillors Lucy Maloney and Pete Fry to make Vancouver a certified Living Wage Employer again. Council voted the motion down.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Her blog post gives no dollar figure for the living wage and no date for a future attempt to bring the motion back. The committee minutes of January 21, 2026 confirm that Councillor Maloney moved the motion, Councillor Fry seconded it, 14 speakers spoke in support and it was lost. The minutes give the number of speakers but not their names.
What still needs checking
Whether Stockwell would bring this motion back if elected, and at what wage rate.
On November 27, 2025, Stockwell spoke to Council in support of the Social Housing Initiative, a staff proposal built on three years of analysis meant to make non-market housing faster and more affordable with more certainty for each project. Council voted the proposal down.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Her blog post names the initiative and its purpose. It gives no number of homes and no cost figure of her own beyond what the initiative already proposed.
What still needs checking
Whether Stockwell would bring a similar proposal back if elected, and how many homes it would target.
On March 11, 2026, Council approved Vancouver's official development plan. Stockwell wrote that the plan was long overdue and gives predictability for residents and planners, while asking how it would provide for more community centres and tie into the city's social housing targets as the population grows.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Her blog post supports the plan and raises questions about parks and community centres. It gives no number of homes, no cost and no date of her own.
What still needs checking
How Stockwell would answer her own questions about parks, community centres and social housing targets if elected.
Keep mature trees and reach 40% tree canopy by 2050
In an Instagram post of October 1, 2026, Stockwell says Vancouver can build more multi-unit homes and keep its trees. She proposes three steps: give priority to keeping mature trees when development proposals are reviewed, track whether replacement trees survive and how much shade they give, and set a goal of 40% tree canopy cover by 2050. She writes that the canopy grew from 21% to 25% between 2013 and 2022, and links the City's 2025 urban forest strategy.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The post names the three steps, the 40% goal and the year. It gives no cost, no wording for a rule on tree retention and no budget for the tracking.
What still needs checking
Which rule would protect mature trees on development sites, and what tracking replacement trees would cost.
In an Instagram post of October 2, 2026, shared with OneCity's account, Stockwell proposes that the City list empty commercial spaces together with the uses each space is already approved for. She says this would help business owners, artists and child care providers find a space they can open in without first paying rent through a long renovation.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The post names the list and who it is for. It gives no cost, no start date and no City office that would keep the list.
What still needs checking
Which City department would run the list, what it would cost and when it would start.
Stockwell signed a OneCity statement of September 27, 2026 that answers the four points of the Vote Palestine pledge. The statement says the candidates would work with City staff so that City contracts go to local businesses or Canadian companies and, as far as possible, City money does not go to states complicit in genocide. Vote Palestine Vancouver's candidate page records her as committed to two of its four points, condemning the genocide in Gaza and cutting ties with Israeli institutions, including reviewing contracts, and as not committed to the Apartheid-Free Communities pledge or to the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association framework on anti-Palestinian racism.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The statement is signed by Stockwell and ten other OneCity candidates, so its words are shared by the slate. It names no contract, purchasing rule, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which purchasing rule Stockwell would ask Council to adopt, and by when.
HUB Cycling asks: slower local streets and connected bike routes
HUB Cycling, a regional cycling charity, asked candidates whether they support three asks. Its published Vancouver answers record Stockwell as answering yes to all three: 30 km/h speeds on local streets with traffic calming for young people travelling to and from school, doing this safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and joining local bike routes to the regional network with routes separated from traffic.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The asks are HUB Cycling's wording, so they earn no mechanism, target, cost or timeline point. She left the three comment boxes empty. The answers carry no date.
What still needs checking
Which streets would get 30 km/h limits first, which gaps in the bike network come first, what the work would cost and by when.
In a Bluesky thread of April 8, 2026, Stockwell criticized the Council majority for rejecting a motion to reverse its ban on new supportive housing units. She wrote that supportive housing is permanent housing with support staff on site at all hours, that it reduces arrests and police encounters, and that it lowers costs to the health and justice systems.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The thread states her position. It gives no number of units, no sites, no cost and no date of her own. OneCity's platform, shown on her VoteMate profile as a party promise, says the party would end the ban; that is party text.
What still needs checking
Whether Stockwell would vote to end the ban in her first term, and how many supportive homes she would support each year.
Keep the City’s building energy and emissions rules
In a Bluesky thread of May 19, 2026, Stockwell opposed a motion from Mayor Ken Sim that would pause emissions reporting for large buildings, repeal rules limiting gas-fired water heaters and return the City's energy standards to the weaker provincial ones. She asked people to write to Council or sign up to speak at the committee meeting of May 20.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The thread states her opposition and her reasons. It names no rule of her own, no cost and no date. voche.me did not open the minutes of the May 20, 2026 meeting for the result.
What still needs checking
Which building energy rules Stockwell would restore if the motion passed, and when.
Lifeguards back at Third Beach, Spanish Banks and Sunset Beach
In a Bluesky thread of April 20, 2026, Stockwell supported a motion before Council to bring lifeguards back to Third Beach, Spanish Banks and Sunset Beach after budget cuts, and wrote that this would cost $600,000.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Beaches and lifeguards are run by the Park Board, a separate elected body, so voche.me records this outside the issues scored for Council. The motion was not hers, and voche.me did not open the minutes of the April 22, 2026 committee meeting for the result.
What still needs checking
Whether Stockwell would fund beach lifeguards in the next City budget.
In a Bluesky thread of March 18, 2026, Stockwell wrote that voters approved borrowing for the Vancouver Aquatic Centre in 2022 on the basis of a 50 metre lap pool, that staff later chose a 25 metre pool, and that elected officials should admit the lack of openness and work out the cost of options to keep the 50 metre pool.

The pool project is run by the Park Board, a separate elected body, so voche.me records this outside the issues scored for Council. The thread gives no cost or date of her own.

More community centres (OneCity posts about Stockwell)
OneCity’s Bluesky account said on September 27, 2026 that Stockwell is running for Council because neighbours need more pools, parks and community centres, and that she and the OneCity council team would focus on building more community centres.

Speech
Speech opposing the Zero Means Zero budget
Stockwell's blog post says she spoke to Council against the proposed 2026 budget, which froze property taxes, because it cut funding for the arts, parks and recreation, and sustainability work with too little detail. The post does not give the day she spoke. The date shown is the day Council passed the budget, as the post and the Council minutes both record.
Stockwell told Council she supported a staff proposal to make non-market housing faster and more affordable, and said social housing in Vancouver is unevenly spread across neighbourhoods.
Stockwell told Council that recertifying Vancouver as a Living Wage Employer would show that the city values the work of its employees and contractors. The committee minutes record 14 speakers in support of the motion, without names, and record the motion as lost.
Stockwell wrote in support of the plan Council approved that day, while asking how it would provide for community centres and tie into the city's social housing targets. A Bluesky post she wrote that afternoon says she was one of the speakers whose turn was moved to the evening session.
Bluesky thread on the Vancouver Aquatic Centre pool
Stockwell wrote that the City told voters in 2022 that the aquatic centre renewal would focus on a 50 metre pool, that staff moved to a 25 metre pool, and that this showed a lack of openness to the people who voted for the borrowing.
Stockwell criticized the Council majority for rejecting a motion to reverse its ban on new supportive housing units, and wrote that supportive housing improves public safety and lowers public costs.
Stockwell asked people to write to Council or speak in support of a motion to bring lifeguards back to three busy beaches, and wrote that the motion would cost $600,000.
Stockwell opposed Mayor Ken Sim's motion to pause emissions reporting for large buildings and loosen the City's energy rules, and asked people to write to Council or speak at the meeting the next day.
Bluesky posts on the request for a special meeting on tariffs
Stockwell called it disappointing that the Council majority turned down Councillor Lucy Maloney's request for a special Council meeting on help for businesses and workers hurt by higher tariffs.
Women Transforming Cities printed a statement from Stockwell under its Our City Hall pledge results. In it she says she supports all six of its policy asks and is committed to acting on them at City Hall.
Signed OneCity statement on the Vote Palestine pledge
Stockwell is one of 11 OneCity candidates who signed a team statement answering the four parts of the Vote Palestine pledge. The signers condemn the genocide in Gaza and racism in all forms, decline to sign the Apartheid-Free Communities pledge or adopt the Arab Canadian Lawyers Association framework, and commit to City purchasing rules that favour local and Canadian companies. Vote Palestine Vancouver records her as committed to points 1 and 3.
Stockwell asked people to vote for OneCity candidates who, she wrote, will support walkable neighbourhoods with more housing near daily needs, access to cooling units and air filters, faster and more reliable transit, and stronger protections for tenants.
Instagram post on the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation
Stockwell wrote about the harm done by residential schools and said the Province and the City must keep working with Indigenous governments, using the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples as the framework for reconciliation.
Answering a question she says she hears from voters, Stockwell wrote that multi-unit homes and trees can go together, and proposed protecting mature trees, tracking replacement trees and a goal of 40% tree canopy cover by 2050.
Stockwell proposed a City list of empty commercial spaces that shows what each space is already approved for, to help small businesses and artists find a place to open.
Stockwell answered yes to all three of HUB Cycling's asks: 30 km/h local streets near schools, safety work in underserved neighbourhoods first, and joining local bike routes to the regional network. She wrote no comments. The answers carry no date, so this date is the day voche.me read them.
SkyTrain Riders, a transit riders' group, posted a short video in which it asks Stockwell about her transportation priorities. voche.me read the post's caption, which is the group's own text, and did not transcribe the video, so no words from her are recorded here.

OneCity Vancouver announces council, school board, and park board candidates
The report names Stockwell as one of five OneCity council candidates and describes the candidate as an Indigenous rights lawyer. It notes Stockwell won a nomination without being part of the OneCity Builders slate that carried three other successful nominees.
OneCity confirms 13 candidates for Vancouver election, including Frances Bula
The report lists OneCity's 13 candidates across council, park board and school board, and describes Stockwell as an Indigenous rights lawyer and climate advocate who previously ran for Park Board in 2022, focused on housing and community investment.
OneCity, COPE choose candidates for council, school board, park board
Mike Howell's report on the OneCity and COPE nominations names Stockwell, described as an Indigenous rights lawyer, as one of OneCity's five council candidates. It quotes no words from her.
The labour council's list of endorsed candidates for the City of Vancouver names Stockwell among 10 City Council candidates, five of them from OneCity.
A personal voter guide that Allen Pike published on his own website names Stockwell as a lawyer for Indigenous governments running with OneCity. It does not discuss her positions.
Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
Stockwell's four Council speeches (the November 2025 budget, the November 2025 Social Housing Initiative, the January 2026 living wage motion and the March 2026 official development plan) are known from her own campaign blog and Bluesky posts. The minutes for the November 25, 2025 budget vote and the January 21, 2026 living wage motion were read: they confirm the outcomes and give a count of public speakers, but Vancouver's minutes do not name public speakers, so no official record names her. The minutes for the Social Housing Initiative and the official development plan meetings were not opened, because council.vancouver.ca returned HTTP 403 and the Internet Archive was offline on October 3, 2026. Her TikTok account shows 36 videos, but their captions could not be read with plain page requests, and the blog post on the living wage links a TikTok video that was not transcribed. A SkyTrain Riders video with her was not transcribed. The Women Transforming Cities council forum of mid-September 2026 has a recording, and its listing does not name the panellists, so voche.me does not know whether she spoke there. Her LinkedIn page returns HTTP 999 to automated reads. Business in Vancouver's copy of the May 2026 nomination report returned HTTP 403; the same Glacier Media report was read on Vancouver Is Awesome. The Wilderness Committee's own site names her a Director, where her campaign site says board member; both describe the same volunteer role, and the record keeps the campaign's wording. The Our City Hall Pledge blog page does not print the wording of its six asks; that wording comes from the organization's own campaign report, cited separately.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 3, 2026: her campaign site and its blog posts about her Council speeches, her Bluesky and Instagram posts, OneCity releases and posts that name her, a 2022 park board candidate survey, the Women Transforming Cities pledge, HUB Cycling's survey answers, the Vote Palestine Vancouver list, her law firm's staff page, and Council minutes for two meetings.
28 commitments are recorded here, 27 of them in her own words or in a statement she signed. She has held no elected office, and no official record names her as acting, so no record points are scored here.
Checks still to do: Vancouver's minutes give a count of public speakers but no names, so her four Council speeches rest on her own blog and posts. A person can confirm them from the Council meeting videos. The TikTok videos and the SkyTrain Riders video have not been transcribed.
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 unless the entry says so.

Lawyer representing Indigenous governments
The campaign site says the work includes supporting First Nation councils on decision-making structures and election processes, lobbying several levels of government for policy change, and negotiating with governments. The 2022 survey page names the employer as First Peoples Law. The firm's own staff page, read on October 3, 2026, lists her in its Vancouver office and shows her as on leave.
Stockwell ran for one of seven park board seats and finished ninth with 36,856 votes. The campaign platform named equity and accessibility, climate action and Indigenous rights as its top three priorities.

Space for campaign updates
OneCity link moved to the party's candidates page
OneCity's old candidate page for this candidate (onecityvancouver.ca/people/caitlin-stockwell) returned HTTP 404 on October 4, 2026. The party's candidates page, read that day, carries the same paragraph and the same portrait file, so the links, the portrait credit and the commitments that cited the old page now point to the candidates page. The old page stays in the source list, marked as no longer answering.
Record reviewed again: new posts, survey answers and two corrections
Added: her Bluesky and Instagram posts, including new commitments on the tree canopy, a City list of empty commercial spaces, supportive housing and building energy rules; her answers to HUB Cycling's election survey; the OneCity statement on the Vote Palestine pledge she signed; her statement on the Women Transforming Cities pledge; the labour council's endorsement; her law firm's staff page; an October 13 online town hall; and Council minutes that confirm the outcomes of the budget and living wage votes. Corrections: the earlier record said her Bluesky account had no readable posts, and the public Bluesky API shows 66 posts she wrote. The budget speech entry gave November 25, 2025 as the day she spoke; her blog gives that date for the Council vote only, and the entry now says so. The OneCity volunteer entry gave a period that began in 2022, a start year the campaign does not give; it now repeats the campaign's own words, more than four years.
voche.me reopened the campaign site and read all four of its blog posts about Stockwell's Council speeches, the two OneCity releases that quote her on public safety, the 2022 park board candidate survey, and the Women Transforming Cities pledge report that lists the wording of its six asks. Every commitment already on this page is now tagged with its issue and whose words it is, and new commitments were added from that material.
Our City Hall Pledge entry split into six
The entry treated the pledge as one commitment on multiple topics. Women Transforming Cities asked for a yes or no on six separate policy asks (non-market housing, transit access, community spaces and library hours, food security, public washrooms, and gender safety), and Stockwell's one supporting sentence applies to each. The entry is now six commitments, one per ask.
Community budget entry reworded
The entry said Stockwell opposes budget limits in general terms. Her own blog post is about one specific vote, the November 25, 2025 'Zero Means Zero' budget, and the entry now describes that vote and quotes her closing line to Council.
Cycling and transit entry split
The entry combined a general 2026 commitment to active transportation with specific 2022 park board proposals (a connected cycling network, distinct paths through parks, and a permanent Stanley Park bike lane). Park Board, not Council, controls roads and paths inside parks, and Stockwell's 2026 campaign site does not repeat these specific proposals, so they are now a separate entry marked as material from her earlier campaign.
