A post by COPE council candidate Devyani Singh's account, with COPE's account, Han's account and two other COPE candidates' accounts listed as co-authors, thanks people met at the Day of the Dog event and lists four aims for COPE's council and parks candidates: pets allowed in rental housing, more off-leash space with early-morning off-leash hours, a TransLink trial of leashed dogs on transit, and shade, water fountains and waste stations in parks.
A post shared jointly by COPE campaign accounts, with Han's account listed as a co-author, says the COPE Park Board team spent Labour Day campaigning and is working for good public spaces and affordable, reliable community centres in every neighbourhood.
A post shared jointly by Han's account and fellow COPE Park Board candidate Cease Wyss's account invites people to a shoreline cleanup at English Bay on September 27 and lists five aims for the Park Board: less pollution in the ocean, open streams and creeks, protected shorebird habitat, natural shorelines and early action on sea level rise.
A post by COPE's account, with Han's account listed as a co-author, says the Park Board should stay independent, elected and well funded, says Mayor Ken Sim and ABC tried to end it, and lists the four COPE Park Board candidates with their ballot numbers, Han at 205.
A post by The Campaign for a Youth Climate Corps, with Han's account and councillor Sean Orr's account listed as co-authors, says five COPE candidates pledged to support setting up a Youth Climate Corps in Vancouver if elected. The caption does not name the five, so this record does not count it as a pledge by Han.
A post shared jointly by COPE campaign accounts, with Han's account listed as a co-author, says the COPE Park Board team works to make parks and public spaces enjoyable and open to everyone, and invites people to the September 27 shoreline cleanup at English Bay Beach.

No personal campaign website, interview, speech or recorded debate appearance by Han was found. Instagram's public embed of @metrovanjamiehan showed 6 of the account's 25 posts on October 3, 2026; the other 19 could not be read. Kerrisdale Community Centre's list of 23 Park Board candidates confirmed for its September 29 meeting does not include Han, and the Mount Pleasant Community Centre listing for September 23 still shows COPE's Park Board speaker as to be announced, so no forum appearance is recorded. The Vancouver Public Space Network's Park Board survey, last updated September 29, 2026, had no answers from Han. HUB Cycling's Vancouver survey sheet, Allen Pike's election guide and Vote Palestine Vancouver's candidate list have no entry for her. Women Transforming Cities' pledge covers mayor and council candidates only. A Youth Climate Corps post co-authored by her account says five COPE candidates pledged support for the program, without naming them. Searches of Chinese-language (Sing Tao, Ming Pao) and Korean-language news found no article naming her. Her occupation beyond "youth organizer" and "political organizing," and the dates and place of the student activism COPE describes, remain unestablished.
Evidence reviewed on October 3, 2026: COPE's candidate page and 2026 platform, Han's VoteMate profile, the City's candidate list, six posts on her Instagram account, news reports, the labour council's endorsement list, candidate surveys and forum listings.
25 commitments credited to Han and 4 party-only commitments are recorded here, each checked against the words of the page it came from. Most of the commitments credited to Han come from Instagram posts that her account co-authored with COPE and its other candidates, and those posts speak for the COPE team as a group.
Checks still to do: A voche.me questionnaire has not been sent. No dated public action by Han was found in an official or independent record. 19 of the 25 posts on her Instagram account could not be read.
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, except where a source other than the campaign is named.
Work, public service and community involvement will appear here when supplied. No experience has been added to this profile.

Ask Jamie Han directly. We send it to the campaign, and publish the reply here if we get one.
Facts voche.me can state about Jamie Han's page itself, answered directly rather than left blank.
Jamie Han was elected to Park Board with 61,093 votes, 6th of 35 in the preliminary count. The City of Vancouver published the count, and every candidate's total is on the results page.
No. This page is researched by voche.me from public sources, listed below, and is separate from Jamie Han's own campaign.
Jamie Han is number 205 on the City of Vancouver's official 2026 ballot for Park Board.
Jamie Han ran for Park Board with COPE.
Not according to this profile. voche.me has not listed a current public office for Jamie Han.
This profile lists 3 sourced references, each with the date voche.me checked it, in the Sources section below.
voche.me has not yet added a nomination record for Jamie Han. This does not mean no nomination paper was filed, only that voche.me has not completed that research yet.
The "Questions & answers" section on this page lists questions voche.me would put to Jamie Han in a future interview. They have not been sent yet, so the page says plainly that no answer has been supplied instead of leaving the section blank.
The 2026 Vancouver municipal election, including the Park Board race, was decided on October 17, 2026.
Added six Instagram posts that list Han's account as a co-author, with 13 commitments taken from them, COPE's 2026 platform as three party positions, Vancouver Is Awesome's May 14 nomination report (which earlier returned an error and could now be read), Daily Hive's September 28 platform report, the labour council's endorsement, and two public forums open to Park Board candidates on October 3 and October 13. Removed the September 23 Mount Pleasant meeting from the calendar, because its organizer still lists COPE's Park Board speaker as to be announced and no source shows Han took part. Corrected the search log, which described COPE's platform page as the 2025 by-election platform; the page now carries the 2026 platform.
