Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
Vanderstar is listed at ballot number 202 for Park Board with the Independent Parks Party.
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 biography, career history, education or policy position for Vanderstar could be found anywhere. The VoteMate profile is empty, with no biography and no policy answers submitted. The Independent Parks Party website at parksparty.vote loads its content through a browser script, and the page served to a plain request contains only a menu, an authorization line and the sponsoring organization's name, so no candidate page or party platform could be read there. VoteMate's party page says the party has not submitted a platform either. No news report, interview, speech or debate appearance naming Vanderstar was found. No campaign event naming Vanderstar was found. This record reflects the absence of published material about the candidate.
