This static page changes only when its research is updated. 01 / Introduction ## About Marie Rogers Marie Rogers appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for Park Board, with ballot number 209. The City records the affiliation as ABC Vancouver. The page says Rogers has a management background in the airline and hospitality industries. The page says Rogers has held several leadership roles focused on city spending and on bringing people together. Daily Hive reported in March 2024 that Rogers was board chair of ABC Vancouver and one of the party's founders, and that all 18 ABC candidates were elected in the autumn 2022 civic election. The Wikipedia article on ABC Vancouver lists Rogers as the party's chairperson. Daily Hive described Rogers in 2024 as a former marketing and communications executive. ABC's 2026 candidate page instead describes management experience in the airline and hospitality industries. The two descriptions have not been reconciled by any source opened for this record. Daily Hive reported in March 2024 that Rogers was seeking the Conservative Party of Canada nomination for Vancouver Granville, a contest that also drew Angela Haer, then an ABC park board commissioner. The seat was held at the time by Taleeb Noormohamed of the Liberals. ABC's candidate page says Rogers has lived in Vancouver for 25 years. Rogers appears at ballot number 209 on the Park Board ballot, listed with ABC Vancouver. voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list and the campaign material linked under Sources.

The result of the 2024 Conservative nomination contest in Vancouver Granville was not established; the Vancouver Is Awesome article on that contest returns HTTP 403 to automated requests. No independent reporting naming Rogers as a 2026 Park Board candidate was opened beyond the ballot list, and ABC's own news page carries no Park Board slate announcement. Daily Hive in 2024 and ABC's 2026 page give different accounts of Rogers's career, and neither was confirmed against an employer or professional record. Whether Rogers still chairs ABC Vancouver while running as a candidate is unestablished. No dated public statement by Rogers in the 2026 campaign was found. Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on September 22, 2026: Current campaign material; biographical claims require corroboration. Campaign page read on September 22, 2026. 2 stated positions and 2 background facts recorded here. This site blocks automated requests, so each quotation was read from the live page twice, independently. Checks still to do: Confirm professional roles and request specific service targets.

Everything described as campaign material is the campaign's own account and has not been confirmed by an independent source. 03 / Background ## Experience & community 2021 to 2026 ### Board chair, ABC Vancouver Daily Hive reported in March 2024 that Rogers was board chair of ABC Vancouver and had helped found the party.
