This record covers Geoff Teoli, ballot number 105, running for Vancouver City Council with Vote Vancouver in the October 17, 2026 election. The evidence base is the party's candidate page and platform, his VoteMate profile, his answers to HUB Cycling's election survey, the candidate lists of Women Transforming Cities and Vote Palestine Vancouver, Stir's report of an arts forum where he spoke, City of Vancouver memos on his film commissioner role, and independent reports of his earlier work in film and at the safety association Actsafe.
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 Geoff Teoli
Geoff Teoli appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 105. The City records the affiliation as Vote Vancouver.
The party page says Teoli is a former Vancouver Film Commissioner and a business leader. The page says Teoli was earlier the City of Vancouver senior leader for film and special events.
Vote Vancouver's candidate page describes Teoli as an entrepreneur and business leader and a former Vancouver film commissioner who also led film and special events work at City Hall, with more than two decades of professional experience across the creative sector, business, public service and non-profit leadership.
Daily Hive reported the same role with a specific employer, describing Teoli as an entrepreneur and the former film commissioner of the Vancouver Economic Commission.
Playback reported on October 1, 2021 that the Vancouver Economic Commission had appointed Teoli acting film commissioner. Playback says he had been the City's senior manager of films and special events, and before that spent 18 years as a location manager and five years as executive director of Actsafe, the industry's health and safety association.
City of Vancouver memos to Mayor and Council, read through Internet Archive copies, add two dates. On September 22, 2021 the City Manager wrote that Teoli would serve as interim Vancouver Film Commissioner, part-time and for a six-month term, while he kept leading the City's Film and Special Events Branch. On June 19, 2023 a Deputy City Manager wrote that the film commission and Film Commissioner Geoff Teoli were moving from the Vancouver Economic Commission into the City Manager's Office.
The party's nomination release of May 25, 2026 lists Teoli among the first nine Vote Vancouver candidates, and says party members endorsed the group unanimously.
Daily Hive reported that Vote Vancouver was founded by sitting councillor Rebecca Bligh, who is the party's mayoral candidate, and that the party describes itself as big-tent and centrist.
Daily Hive's ballot order list records Teoli at number 105 on the City Council ballot, under the Vote Vancouver banner.
Stir reported that Teoli spoke at the arts, culture and heritage candidates forum at the Museum of Vancouver on September 22, 2026.
In his answers to HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey, Teoli supported 30 km/h limits on local streets and wrote that Vote Vancouver will set up free bike valets at City-owned EasyPark parking facilities starting in April 2027.
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.

13 commitments shown · Checked Oct 3
2026 · EconomyCampaign pledge
Less red tape and room for business to grow
The party's candidate page says Teoli is running for Council to reduce red tape and to foster an environment where businesses can grow.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page states these aims in one sentence, and the same sentence names transparency, which is recorded as its own commitment under governance. It names no rule to change, no report to publish, no number and no date.
What still needs checking
Which specific permits, fees or rules Teoli would change first.
The party's economy page says a Small Business Concierge would be one place to get help with permits, regulations and City processes, that better technology and simpler processes would speed up permit decisions, and that vacant City commercial spaces would be opened to people and organizations that can use them.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page names mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh as the person who will act on each item and does not mention Teoli. It gives no cost, number or date. It is recorded as party text, which earns the party reference only.
What still needs checking
Whether Teoli has stated a position on any of these items, and what the Small Business Concierge would cost.
The party's candidate page says Teoli is running for Council to improve transparency. His membership page says he is running to bring experienced leadership to City Hall and help build a city that is innovative, transparent and inclusive.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Both pages state an aim. Neither names a rule, a committee, a report or a date.
What still needs checking
Which City Hall rules or reports Teoli would change to make the City more transparent.
Stir reports that at the arts and culture candidates forum on September 22, 2026, Teoli backed indexing grants for arts groups and festivals to inflation and said the funding should be brought back up to current dollars (today's prices).
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The report quotes him on the principle. It gives no grant amount, no budget line, no funding source and no date. The report says Teoli was one of several candidates who pointed to the City's cuts to other arts funding and to the estimated $4.75 million cost of extending Granville Street's pedestrian zone. It does not say he named that money as the source for higher grants.
What still needs checking
How much the grants would rise, from which budget line, and by when.
Stir reports that Teoli said politics should be taken out of arts grant decisions, so that the City is not the one deciding which groups receive grants. The second half of this sentence is voche.me's plain rewording of a quotation in the article.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The report gives this in its item on a permanent arts committee and does not say Teoli backed a committee. It does not say who would decide grants instead, and it names no bylaw, budget line, number or date.
What still needs checking
Which body Teoli would put in charge of arts grant decisions, and how the City would set it up.
The party's economy page says child care would be part of Vancouver's economic strategy, with new child care facilities created on underused City land.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page names Rebecca Bligh as the person who will act and does not mention Teoli. It gives no number of spaces, no cost and no date.
What still needs checking
Whether Teoli has stated a position on child care, and how many spaces the party would build.
An Arts Council with more independence (party text)
The party's economy page says an Arts Council with greater independence from City Hall would be established.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page names Rebecca Bligh as the person who will act and does not mention Teoli. It gives no budget, no start date and no description of the council.
What still needs checking
Whether Teoli backs this council, and how it would relate to the arts grant decisions he spoke about at the September 22 forum.
Property tax increases in line with inflation (party text)
The party's economy page says the party would work to keep property tax increases in line with inflation, which the page says would bring more predictability to what residents and businesses pay.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The page names Rebecca Bligh as the person who will act and does not mention Teoli. It gives no rate and no date.
What still needs checking
Whether Teoli has stated a position on property tax.
30 km/h local streets and repaired traffic calming
In HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey Teoli answered yes to the charity's ask for 30 km/h speeds on local streets with traffic calming on routes to school. He wrote that he supports 30 km/h limits on local streets and better street lighting, and that he wants better upkeep of existing traffic calming, such as repainting worn speed limit markings and repairing speed bumps.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The ask is HUB Cycling's wording; the speed limit and the upkeep items are in his own answer. The answer names no street, cost or date, and it carries no date of its own.
What still needs checking
Which streets would get 30 km/h limits first, what the upkeep would cost, and by when.
Injury data to decide where street safety money goes
HUB Cycling asked candidates to put speed reductions and quick street safety upgrades in historically underserved neighbourhoods first. Teoli answered yes and wrote that injury data should be the main measure for deciding where street safety money is spent, in place of postal codes.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
His answer states a rule for choosing locations. It names no data set, budget, number or date.
What still needs checking
Which injury data the City would use, and how much money the rule would direct.
Close gaps between protected bike routes and the street network
HUB Cycling asked candidates to join local bike routes to the regional network faster, with lanes separated from traffic. Teoli answered yes and wrote that many cyclists are not comfortable moving from a protected all-ages bike path onto a street shared with traffic, and that the City's past cycling spending will not give its full value until those gaps are closed.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
His answer names the problem and supports the ask. It names no route, length, cost or date.
What still needs checking
Which gaps Teoli would close first, at what cost, and by when.
Free bike valets at City-owned EasyPark facilities from April 2027
In his HUB Cycling answers Teoli wrote that bike theft keeps cycling from being a practical way to get to work, and that Vote Vancouver will set up free bike valets at City-owned EasyPark facilities starting in April 2027. The party's policy priorities document describes these valets as secure, monitored bike storage. It calls the program seasonal and places it in underused EasyPark spaces.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
His answer gives the place and the start date. It names no number of sites or spaces and no cost.
What still needs checking
How many EasyPark sites would have a valet, what it would cost each year, and who would run it.
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 Teoli 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 Teoli, and the wording of each ask belongs to the charity.
What still needs checking
Which of the six asks he would bring to Council first.
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 CBC News and the Canadian Press; a City memo refers to the trip
Los Angeles visit with the mayor before The Last of Us moved to Vancouver
Mayor Ken Sim told a news conference on March 31, 2023 that he and Vancouver film commissioner Geoff Teoli had been in Los Angeles a few weeks earlier to promote Vancouver as a place to film, and that the process leading to HBO’s announcement went on from there. HBO announced that season 2 of The Last of Us would be filmed in Vancouver.
Scope, limits and sources
The mayor's statement at a news conference is the only account of the visit that voche.me has read. A City memo to Council of March 14, 2023 attaches a film commissioner backgrounder whose file name says it was for the mayor's Los Angeles trip. The reports do not say what part Teoli played on the trip.
Reported by Daily Hive; the report itself not opened
Vancouver Economic Commission film industry report released
Daily Hive reported on September 12, 2022 that the Vancouver Economic Commission had released its annual report on the economic size of the local film and television industry. The article quotes Teoli, as acting Vancouver film commissioner, in the commission’s statement on the results.
Scope, limits and sources
The report belongs to the commission. The article shows Teoli as a person quoted in the statement and does not say he wrote the report. voche.me has not opened the report.
City news release read through the Internet Archive; reported by Daily Hive and Creative BC
First clean energy kiosk for film sets, part of a planned City network
The City's news release of April 13, 2023 says the City, the Vancouver Economic Commission and film industry representatives unveiled three clean energy kiosks in Northeast False Creek, which let film crews use grid power in place of diesel generators. It quotes Teoli as Vancouver Film Commissioner at the Vancouver Economic Commission on the City's clean energy policy. Daily Hive reported the same day and quotes him on how film permit fees would pay to expand the network and on where the kiosks would go.
Scope, limits and sources
The release says Council passed a motion in 2019 to end generator use for filming and food trucks, and Daily Hive attributes that motion to Councillor Adriane Carr. The sources show Teoli as the film commissioner speaking for the program and do not say he designed it. The release was read in an Internet Archive copy because vancouver.ca returns HTTP 403 to automated reads.
Interview first published by the Vancouver Economic Commission; City records not opened
Interview on Vancouver’s film industry as acting film commissioner
In an interview republished by Portable Electric, Teoli said the film commission had worked for a year with Business Improvement Associations to update its filming guidelines, and that since 2020 productions with a lower impact, including those that need little space or use clean energy instead of large diesel generators, could qualify for reduced permit fees.
Scope, limits and sources
This is Teoli’s own account of work by the film commission. voche.me has not found the guidelines or the fee schedule and has not opened City records. The date is the publication date in the page’s data.
City Manager's memo read through the Internet Archive; reported by Playback and Broadcast Dialogue
Appointed acting Vancouver film commissioner
In a memo dated September 22, 2021, City Manager Paul Mochrie wrote that Teoli would join the Vancouver Economic Commission part-time as interim Vancouver Film Commissioner for a six-month term, while he kept leading the City's Film and Special Events Branch within Engineering, and that the commission would announce it on September 27, 2021. Playback reported the appointment on October 1, 2021, and Broadcast Dialogue reported on October 21, 2021 that he had joined the City in 2018.
Scope, limits and sources
A job title earns no score. The memo was read in an Internet Archive copy because vancouver.ca returns HTTP 403 to automated reads. voche.me has not found when the role ended.
Announced by Actsafe; reported by Canadian Occupational Safety in 2015
Selected as executive director of Actsafe
Actsafe, a non-profit health and safety association for British Columbia’s motion picture and performing arts industries, announced on September 17, 2013 that Teoli would be its executive director from September 23, 2013. Canadian Occupational Safety reported in November 2015 that Actsafe had begun renting defibrillators to its members and hoped to create a shared defibrillator system and training for the industry. Playback describes five years in the role.
Scope, limits and sources
The role was at a non-profit safety association and touches no issue scored for City Council.
Deputy City Manager Karen Levitt sent Mayor and Council a briefing document from the Vancouver Film Commissioner on March 14, 2023. Its last page names Geoff Teoli, Film Commissioner. It describes the City's Motion Picture Leadership Group, a project to line up film services across City departments, the commissioner's duties, and the industry's main requests, including one department for film permit decisions, a better online permit system, faster invoicing and access to City-owned EasyPark lots.
Scope, limits and sources
The briefing describes work under way and the industry's requests. A letter from two film industry groups was attached to the same memo and is their own account.
Film commission moved into the City Manager's Office
Deputy City Manager Karen Levitt told Mayor and Council on June 19, 2023 that the Vancouver Film Commission and Film Commissioner Geoff Teoli were moving from the Vancouver Economic Commission into the City Manager's Office, reporting to the Director of Business Planning and Project Support.
Scope, limits and sources
This is a change in where the job sat inside the City. A job title earns no score.

Debate coverage
Arts, culture and heritage candidates forum
Stir reports that six council candidates from six parties took part in the forum at the Museum of Vancouver, hosted by the BC Coalition of Arts, Culture, and Heritage. It quotes Teoli on indexing arts grants to inflation and reports his view that politics should be taken out of arts grant decisions.
Teoli 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. In his written answers he asked for repairs to speed bumps and road markings, said injury data should decide where safety money goes, and wrote that Vote Vancouver will start free bike valets at City-owned EasyPark facilities in April 2027. The answers carry no date, so this date is the day voche.me read them.
The charity's results table marks him as committing to all six of its Our City Hall asks. The table is an image and carries no statement in his own words.
Vote Palestine Vancouver, a campaign group, lists Teoli 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 including reviewing contracts, 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 Teoli himself on these points.

Reporting
Daily Hive
Vote Vancouver party announces first nine candidates to run in civic election
Reported the party's first nine candidates across council, park board and school board, named Teoli as an entrepreneur and the former film commissioner of the Vancouver Economic Commission, and quoted party founder Rebecca Bligh. The report carries no quote from Teoli.
B.C. film sector bracing for Hollywood writers' strike
Quotes Teoli, as Vancouver film commissioner, on the long-term growth of the local film industry and on what draws productions to Vancouver, and reports his explanation that the City's clean energy kiosks let productions use electricity in place of diesel power.
Sources checked October 3, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
Teoli's own 2026 words found by voche.me are the quotations in Stir's report of the September 22 arts forum and his written answers to HUB Cycling's survey. The only date in them is April 2027, for free bike valets, and none gives a cost or a number. No recording of the arts forum was watched. When his film commissioner role ended has not been established: the latest City record read, a memo of June 19, 2023, shows him in the role. His LinkedIn and Instagram pages could not be read. No elected office is on record in the sources read, so there is no voting record. No court, regulator or election office finding that names him was found by voche.me on October 3, 2026, and campaign finance records were not checked. The party's nomination page shows the date as May 25 without a year; Daily Hive's report of the same nominations is dated May 25, 2026.
Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on September 25 and October 3, 2026: the campaign pages, the VoteMate profile, his answers to HUB Cycling's survey, two candidate lists kept by advocacy groups, one report of a forum where Teoli spoke, City of Vancouver memos read through Internet Archive copies, and independent reports on his earlier work in film and film safety.
Campaign pages and the VoteMate profile were read on September 25 and again on October 3, 2026. Each statement of his own recorded here is checked against a quotation from the page it came from.
Checks still to do: find when his film commissioner role ended, and ask Teoli for measurable targets, costs and dates.
The ballot name, office, ballot number and party label come from the City's final candidate list. Statements from campaign pages are the campaign's own account. His earlier roles are reported by the City's own memos and by independent outlets named in the sources.
03 / Background
Experience & community
From September 2021
Film commissioner, Vancouver Economic Commission, then the City Manager's Office
A City Manager's memo of September 22, 2021 says Teoli would join the Vancouver Economic Commission part-time as interim Vancouver Film Commissioner for a six-month term, and Playback reported the appointment on October 1, 2021. A Deputy City Manager's memo of June 19, 2023 says the film commission and Film Commissioner Geoff Teoli were moving into the City Manager's Office. The party's candidate page says the role involved leading one of Vancouver's largest economic sectors and supporting thousands of jobs. voche.me has not found when the role ended.
Senior manager for film and special events, City of Vancouver
Broadcast Dialogue reported on October 21, 2021 that he joined the City in 2018 and served as senior branch manager in its Film & Special Events Branch. The City Manager's memo of September 22, 2021 says he would keep leading the Film and Special Events Branch within Engineering while serving as interim film commissioner. The party's candidate page says he also worked on clean energy infrastructure and on making City Hall processes faster, and names no department, dates or project for that work.
Actsafe announced his selection on September 17, 2013 and said he had worked in film location and production management for eighteen years. Playback describes five years as executive director. Canadian Occupational Safety interviewed him in that role in 2015.
Nominated in May 2026 alongside John Boychuk, Rebecca Hasdell and Bhavna Solecki for council, with Rebecca Bligh as mayoral candidate. The party's candidate list later grew to six council candidates.

Space for campaign updates
Survey answers, City memos and two corrections
Added: his answers to HUB Cycling's 2026 election survey, recorded as four transportation commitments; the Women Transforming Cities pledge results, which mark him as committing to all six asks; Vote Palestine Vancouver's list, which records him as declining its platform; three City of Vancouver memos and a City news release, read through Internet Archive copies; and a 2023 Business in Vancouver report that quotes him as film commissioner. Corrections: the experience entry for his City film and special events job said it ended in October 2021, and the City Manager's memo of September 22, 2021 says he would keep leading that branch while serving as interim film commissioner, so the period now reads from 2018. The film commissioner entry said the role started in October 2021, and the same memo shows the appointment was made in September 2021, with a public announcement set for September 27, 2021, so it now reads from September 2021.
The research date moved to October 3, 2026, so forum listings dated before it had to become past records or come off the calendar. No source names Teoli as taking part in the September 23 Mount Pleasant all candidates meeting, the September 29 Candid Candidates forum or the October 1 Last Candidate Standing debate, so all three were removed. The Mount Pleasant organizer's page lists John Boychuk as the Vote Vancouver council candidate at that meeting.
The party's economy page names mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh as the person who will carry out each item on it and does not mention Teoli. The entry now says so and is recorded as party text. The child care, arts council and property tax items are listed separately under their own issues.
Red tape and transparency pledges separated and reworded
The candidate page gives one sentence with three aims: reduce red tape, improve transparency, and foster an environment where businesses can grow. voche.me now records the red tape and business aim under economy and the transparency aim under governance, in the page's own words. Earlier wording said cut red tape and make it easier for businesses to grow. A repeated entry with the same sentence was replaced by the transparency entry.
