This record covers David Grewal, ballot number 138, a first-time city council candidate with ABC Vancouver who has worked as senior advisor to Mayor Ken Sim since at least December 2022. voche.me found no platform of his own. His one recorded 2026 position is his support for rebuilding the Vancouver Aquatic Centre with a 50-metre pool, reported by CBC News on October 1, 2026. Independent reporting and two City integrity commissioner reports add detail the party page leaves out: his 2018 and 2020 campaigns for other offices, a 2024 dispute over gas-industry lobbying contacts, and his part in 2023 phone calls about who should chair the Park Board.
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 David Grewal
David Grewal appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 138. The City records the affiliation as ABC Vancouver.
The page says Grewal started two energy companies based in Vancouver. The page says Grewal was Chair of the West End Business Improvement Association. The page says the candidate has been Senior Advisor to the Mayor of Vancouver for the past four years.
ABC Vancouver announced Grewal as a council candidate on August 27, 2026, as one of four new names joining five sitting councillors to make a slate of nine.
The party page says Grewal was born and raised in Vancouver and holds an engineering degree and a business diploma.
The party page says Grewal founded two energy sector companies based in Vancouver and has since taken interests in hospitality and healthcare. Daily Hive's report of the announcement repeats this.
The party page says Grewal served as chair of the West End Business Improvement Association, working on economic activity, neighbourhood safety and public spaces.
The party page says Grewal spent four years as senior advisor to the Mayor of Vancouver, advising on economic development, community engagement and local governance. Daily Hive's report describes the role as current at the time of the announcement.
Daily Hive's ballot order lists Grewal at number 138 for council with ABC Vancouver.
Independent reporting corroborates parts of the party's account. theBreaker.news, citing a freedom of information request, reported in February 2023 that Grewal's pay rate as senior advisor was $135,052 a year, and named him as a co-founder of Absolute Energy Inc. and a past chair of the West End Business Improvement Association. The City of Vancouver's own pay disclosure lists a senior advisor named Grewal, D. in the Mayor and City Council department, paid $134,831.60 in 2023, $142,604.87 in 2024 and $152,003.11 in 2025.
Grewal ran for Vancouver City Council with the NPA in 2018 and did not win a seat. theBreaker.news and the Georgia Straight both reported he finished 11th in the race for 10 seats, 1,668 votes short of the final one. In 2020 he was the BC Liberal candidate for the provincial riding of Vancouver-Fraserview, a race he also did not win. In a piece he wrote for Daily Hive during that campaign, Grewal said he holds a degree in environmental engineering and that he founded Absolute Energy in 2003 after being unable to find work in that field.
On October 1, 2026, CBC News quoted Grewal on the rebuild of the Vancouver Aquatic Centre. He said a 50-metre pool can be built on the site, although City staff had said earlier that only a 25-metre pool would fit, and that he would accept a few extra months to deliver a facility that meets residents' needs. The same day, ABC Vancouver's Instagram account posted the party's pledge to rebuild the centre with a 50-metre pool and named Grewal and Joyce Gillespie as candidates who back it.
Two reports by the City's integrity commissioner, Lisa Southern, both dated August 2, 2024, describe Grewal's work in the mayor's office. One found that in a November 24, 2023 phone call Grewal told a Park Board commissioner that the mayor wanted someone other than Brennan Bastyovanszky to chair the board. The other dismissed a complaint that Grewal and chief of staff Trevor Ford had filed against two Park Board commissioners. The accountability section below gives the details.
voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list, the campaign material, and the independent reporting and official records linked under Sources. The campaign has not been contacted, and no candidate-supplied content appears on this page.

Business experience and public accountability
The campaign describes business leadership, a former business-association chair role and work advising the mayor.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Taken from the campaign page listed in the sources. Independent reporting from theBreaker.news and the Georgia Straight, and the City of Vancouver's own pay disclosure, confirm the senior advisor role, the West End Business Improvement Association chair role and the Absolute Energy company. The party page does not name Grewal's 2018 council run or 2020 provincial run, and does not name the second natural gas company that independent reporting ties to him.
What still needs checking
Whether Grewal will publish a platform with a specific, checkable measure on any city council issue.
Rebuild the Vancouver Aquatic Centre with a 50-metre pool
Grewal told CBC News that a 50-metre pool can be built on the Vancouver Aquatic Centre site and that an ABC-led City Hall would deliver the party's pledge to build it. An ABC Vancouver Instagram post of October 1, 2026 names him as backing the pledge.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
CBC News quotes Grewal directly. He gives no cost, no date and no design for the pool. The party's post says the project would be delivered on budget and on time, with no figure or date. CBC reports that the Park Board and City Council both approved the current 25-metre design and its funding.
What still needs checking
Whether ABC publishes a cost and a schedule for a 50-metre design, and whether the next Council and Park Board change the approved plan.

Interview
Comments to CBC News on the Vancouver Aquatic Centre pool
Grewal told CBC News that a 50-metre pool can be built at the Vancouver Aquatic Centre site, although City staff had said earlier that only a 25-metre pool would fit. He said he would accept a few extra months to deliver a facility that meets residents' needs, and that an ABC-led City Hall would use new methods and technology to deliver it.
Named in an ABC Vancouver post on the Aquatic Centre pool
An ABC Vancouver Instagram post, shared with Joyce Gillespie's campaign account, says Grewal and Gillespie believe the City can do better than a 25-metre pool, and repeats the party's commitment to rebuild the centre with a 50-metre pool on budget and on time. The post is the party's own material.
Listed as declining the Vote Palestine Vancouver platform
Vote Palestine Vancouver, a campaign group, lists Grewal as having declined its platform. The group says its volunteers recorded each candidate's position and that the list is current as of October 1, 2026. voche.me found no statement by Grewal himself on the platform.
Interview with Vancouver Magazine as the mayor's senior advisor
In a Vancouver Magazine article on Mayor Ken Sim's first year, Grewal, then the mayor's senior advisor, said the mayor's office had limited time left in its term and that he thought one third of ABC's 94-point 2022 platform had already been dealt with. The magazine described him as speaking for the mayor when Sim was unavailable.

Policy dispute
Gas-industry ties questioned before a council vote on gas heating
Reporting by Dan Fumano in the Vancouver Sun, cited by Vancity Lookout and The Narwhal, says Grewal, in his role as senior advisor to Mayor Ken Sim, had contact with a lobbyist for gas supplier FortisBC before a July 2024 council vote that reversed a ban on gas heating in new Vancouver buildings. Both outlets say Grewal is a director of two natural gas companies and the co-founder of one of them, Absolute Energy. The Narwhal reports that critics of the reversal alleged some council members and staff had ties to the gas industry.
Candidate or party response
Vancity Lookout reports that Trevor Ford, the mayor's chief of staff, told the Vancouver Sun the City is confident Grewal's business interests do not interfere with his duties.
Verified status and limits
No official finding has been made public. The dispute concerns Grewal's City Hall staff role and his business ties in 2024. voche.me found no direct response from Grewal himself.
Integrity commissioner reports on calls about the Park Board chair
Two reports by Integrity Commissioner Lisa Southern, both dated August 2, 2024, deal with Grewal's work as the mayor's senior advisor. In the report on Park Board Commissioner Brennan Bastyovanszky's complaint against Mayor Ken Sim, she found that in a November 24, 2023 phone call Grewal told a Park Board commissioner that the mayor wanted someone other than Bastyovanszky as board chair. She found that Grewal and chief of staff Trevor Ford are City employees and political appointees whose work includes helping the mayor as leader of ABC Vancouver. In the second report she dismissed a complaint Grewal and Ford had filed against Bastyovanszky and Commissioner Scott Jensen over Jensen's recordings of two calls with them, which Bastyovanszky heard. She found the recordings legal and found no breach of the Park Board Code of Conduct.
Candidate or party response
The first report says Grewal and Ford gave sworn statements. They said their duties include supporting the mayor's political work, asked that the call recordings not be used as evidence, and said the commissioner had no power to investigate City employees.
Verified status and limits
The commissioner found no breach of the Code of Conduct By-law by the mayor, because the evidence showed he was acting as leader of ABC Vancouver when the events took place. She found that the by-law does not apply to Grewal and Ford as City employees, and she dismissed their complaint against the two commissioners. CBC News and theBreaker.news reported both decisions.

Ken Sim's ABC party names four new Vancouver City Council candidates
The report names Grewal as one of four new ABC council candidates, alongside Arezo Zarrabian, Joyce Gillespie and Lorraine Lowe, and gives the background the party supplied: senior advisor to the mayor, an engineering degree and business diploma, two energy companies, and a term as chair of the West End Business Improvement Association.

Reports that the integrity commissioner dismissed the complaint by Ford and Grewal against two Park Board commissioners, and summarizes what the November 2023 call recording showed.
Mayor Ken Sim dishes out jobs to reward ABC campaign workers
Based on a freedom of information request, reports Grewal's pay rate as senior advisor at $135,052 a year, the third-highest in the mayor's office at the time.
Names Grewal as Mayor Ken Sim's senior advisor, reports he fell 1,668 votes short of the 10th council seat in 2018, and confirms he co-founded Absolute Energy Inc. and is a past chair of the West End Business Improvement Association.
B.C. Liberals will acclaim David Grewal as candidate in Vancouver-Fraserview
Reports Grewal's acclamation as the 2020 BC Liberal candidate for Vancouver-Fraserview, his 2003 founding of Absolute Energy, and that he finished 11th in the 2018 race for 10 Vancouver council seats.
Entrepreneur David Grewal will be B.C. Liberal candidate for Vancouver-Fraserview
Reports the BC Liberals' announcement that Grewal would be acclaimed as their 2020 candidate in Vancouver-Fraserview, and repeats the party's description of him as the 2003 co-founder of Absolute Energy Inc.
Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
As of October 3, 2026, voche.me found one 2026 policy statement by Grewal: his comments to CBC News on rebuilding the Vancouver Aquatic Centre with a 50-metre pool, with no cost or date. No platform, questionnaire answer or forum statement of his own was found. The ABC party page carries a biography and one general statement about his approach to leadership. The ABC 2026 platform is the party's own platform and is not recorded here as Grewal's own commitment. VoteMate now shows ABC's party promises on his profile, each labelled as the party's, and no promise written by Grewal. HUB Cycling's published Vancouver candidate responses, checked October 3, 2026, include no answer from Grewal or any ABC candidate. Women Transforming Cities reports that an ABC spokesperson said ABC candidates would not sign its Our City Hall pledge. Independent reporting (theBreaker.news, the Georgia Straight, Vancouver Magazine, Vancity Lookout and The Narwhal) corroborates his role as senior advisor to Mayor Ken Sim, his past chair role at the West End Business Improvement Association, and his co-founding of Absolute Energy Inc., and it adds that he is a director of a second natural gas company. The same reporting covers a 2024 dispute over gas-industry lobbying contacts before a council vote, and two 2024 integrity commissioner reports describe his calls with a Park Board commissioner; see the accountability entries below. Grewal ran for Vancouver City Council with the NPA in 2018 without winning a seat, and for the BC Liberals in Vancouver-Fraserview in 2020 without winning; these are a different office and an earlier cycle, so they are recorded in the biography and not scored as 2026 commitments. The West End Business Improvement Association's current team page, checked 2026-09-26, does not list Grewal, which is consistent with the party's description of him as a past chair. The City's councillor list, read on October 3, 2026, links his nomination papers; voche.me has not reviewed them. A search of South Asian community media (the Indo-Canadian Voice, The Link and the Asian Journal), and a Punjabi-language search, found no 2026 article naming him. No record of Grewal casting a council vote or moving a council motion exists, because he has never held elected office.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 3, 2026: the campaign's own material, independent reporting on Grewal's City Hall staff role, his earlier campaigns and his 2026 comments on the Vancouver Aquatic Centre, and two 2024 reports by the City's integrity commissioner.
The party's candidate page was read again on October 3, 2026 through the WebFetch tool, since the site blocks automated requests. It still holds a biography and no stated position on a city council issue.
Checks still to do: whether Grewal will publish a platform with a measure on any city council issue, a cost and a date for the 50-metre pool he supports, and the outcome, if any, of questions raised about gas-industry lobbying contacts in his City Hall role.
The ballot name, office, ballot number and party label come from the City's final candidate list. CBC News, theBreaker.news, the Georgia Straight, Vancouver Magazine, the Indo-Canadian Voice, Vancity Lookout, The Narwhal and the integrity commissioner's reports are independent of the campaign. Everything described as campaign material is the campaign's own account.
