Read the reporting

A dated reading list from independent publishers. The headings below are voche.me summaries; follow each link for the original article, context and any corrections.

Daily Hive

Ken Sim's ABC party names four new Vancouver City Council candidates

The article lists ABC Vancouver's school board slate for 2026 and names Kroeker among the five new trustee candidates. It carries no separate profile of Kroeker.

Daily Hive

Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order

The published ballot order lists Kroeker at number 312 for school board trustee, running for ABC Vancouver.

Check the evidence

Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.

Official record 2 sources
Campaign 2 sources
Reporting 2 sources

Nothing was found about Kroeker beyond the ABC Vancouver candidate page and the two Daily Hive candidate-list articles. No interview, speech, campaign event, past candidacy or independent profile was found. The party page names no employer for the technology work and no charity for the volunteer work, so neither claim could be checked. ABC Vancouver has not published a separate school board platform, so every policy item above is the party's council platform.

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 3 background facts recorded here. This site blocks automated requests, so each quotation was read from the live page twice, independently.

Checks still to do: Verify professional roles and request transparent procurement and student-data safeguards.

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.
