01 / Introduction
## About Jarrett Hagglund
Jarrett Hagglund appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 100. The City records the affiliation as OneCity.
The campaign says Hagglund works on co-op housing with the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC. The page describes Hagglund as an advocate for artists and a leader in the queer community.
The OneCity candidate page describes Hagglund as an affordable housing advocate, an advocate for artists and a leader in the queer community, and says Hagglund works with the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC.
OneCity's team page gives Hagglund the one line description "the affordable housing champion fighting to make Vancouver a city where people can afford to stay".
Daily Hive reported that Hagglund is managing director of the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC.
Daily Hive reported that Hagglund's earlier work includes staff roles with former premier John Horgan and former B.C. environment minister George Heyman.
The byline on a January 2026 Daily Hive opinion piece describes Hagglund as a Vancouver based housing advocate and vice-president of DMS Vancouver, which the byline calls a long-standing 2SLGBTQ2+ community organization.
Daily Hive's ballot order list records Hagglund at number 100 on the City Council ballot, under the OneCity Vancouver banner.

Promises / Commitments and evidence
## Commitments and the available evidence.
Published positions and selected commitments, separated by election cycle. Status labels describe the evidence reviewed, not a numerical score or a complete audit of the platform. Council approval is different from delivery.
5 commitments shown · Checked Sep 22
2026 · HousingCampaign pledge
### Permanently affordable homes
The campaign page says Hagglund is running to make Vancouver homes permanently affordable for the people who live and work in the city.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- The campaign page states the goal. It does not name a programme, a number of homes, a budget or a timeline.
- What still needs checking
- Which council powers Hagglund would use, and how many homes the plan would produce by what date.
- [Candidate page: Jarrett Hagglund](https://www.onecityvancouver.ca/people/jarrett-hagglund)Campaign · OneCity Vancouver
2026 · Public servicesCampaign pledge
### Our City Hall Pledge
Women Transforming Cities lists Hagglund among the candidates who signed its Our City Hall Pledge, which asks council candidates to back six community priorities including more non-market housing, longer library hours and more public washrooms.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- The organisation's page names Hagglund as a signer. It does not publish separate wording from Hagglund on each of the six asks.
- What still needs checking
- What money and what council decisions Hagglund would put behind each of the six asks.
- [Our City Hall Pledge: Candidate Commitments](https://www.womentransformingcities.org/blog/our-city-hall-pledge)Reporting · Women Transforming Cities
2026 · Arts and cultureCampaign pledge
### Clearer rules for small music and cultural venues
In a January 2026 opinion piece, Hagglund asked the city for three things: a clear path for event organisers to run venues legally, enforcement that separates real safety risks from paperwork problems, and direct meetings between event organisers and enforcement staff.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- The opinion piece sets out the three asks in Hagglund's own words. It was published in January 2026, four months before OneCity confirmed the nomination, and the campaign page does not repeat these asks.
- What still needs checking
- Whether Hagglund brings these three asks forward as a council motion, and whether the campaign adopts them.
- [Opinion: Heavy-handed fire code enforcement risks pushing Vancouver's music and cultural events underground](https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/vancouver-music-cultural-events-enforcement-safety)Reporting · Daily Hive
2026 · ClimateCampaign pledge
### OneCity climate platform
OneCity's platform, announced in August 2026, would reverse the allowance for natural gas in new low rise homes, restore the zero emission heating requirement, start a public rooftop solar programme on city buildings, and install cooling and air filtration in about 500 high risk homes at a stated municipal cost of $4 million to $7.5 million.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- This is the party's platform. Daily Hive's report quotes mayoral candidate William Azaroff and does not quote Hagglund on any part of it.
- What still needs checking
- Whether Hagglund has stated a position on the natural gas rules and the solar programme.

### Opinion piece on fire code enforcement and Vancouver music events
Writing in Daily Hive, Hagglund argued that strict fire code enforcement against informal music venues pushes events out of sight and makes them less safe, and asked for a legal path for organisers, proportionate enforcement and direct talks between organisers and enforcement staff.

The job title of managing director at the Co-operative Housing Federation of BC rests on Daily Hive reporting. A staff profile for Hagglund on the federation's own website could not be opened. The vice-president role at DMS Vancouver appears only in the byline Hagglund supplied to Daily Hive. The Dogwood Monarchist Society's public executive board page lists its officers under other names and does not list Hagglund, so that role is recorded here as a self-description only. No interview, debate report, election result or public vote record for Hagglund was found. No accountability record of any kind was found.
