This record covers David Grewal, ballot number 138, a first time council candidate with ABC Vancouver. The available material is a party biography and the reporting of the party's announcement, so the record is short and most of it is what the party says.
No public appearance by this candidate was confirmed in the sources checked on September 22, 2026. The voting dates below apply to every voter. An empty day is a gap in the research, not proof that nothing is happening.
Checked September 22, 2026 · All event times are Vancouver local time. Recheck the organizer before travelling.
On dates without a confirmed appearance the public schedule is unknown; the candidate may still have activities that day. This static page changes only when its research is updated.

Reporting
Daily Hive
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.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No policy statement, interview or quote by Grewal was found anywhere. The ABC party page carries a biography and no positions. The ABC 2026 platform reported by Daily Hive is the party's platform and is not recorded here as Grewal's own commitment. The West End Business Improvement Association's public website does not publish a board list, so the chair role could not be checked against the organisation itself, and the two energy companies are not named on any source opened here. VoteMate's 2026 entry for Grewal is empty apart from party and office.
