About Naomi Chocyk

Naomi Chocyk appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for City Council, with ballot number 154. The City records the affiliation as TrueBlue Vancouver.

Chocyk appears twice on the 2026 Vancouver ballot. Daily Hive's published ballot order lists Chocyk at number 154 for city council and at number 318 for school board, both for TrueBlue Vancouver.

TrueBlue Vancouver is a new municipal party. Elections BC approved its registration as an elector organization for Vancouver and the Vancouver School Board on August 4, 2026, and lists it in its register of elector organizations. The party's About page, read on October 3, 2026, still says it is not yet registered; the Elections BC record is the official one. The About page also says the party is not linked to any federal or provincial party. The party's home page lists four candidates and names Chocyk as the only one running for both city council and school board. The City's final candidate lists carry three people for TrueBlue Vancouver: Chocyk, Travers Fenton and Blair Coleman.

Chocyk publishes her own campaign website, naomichocyk.com. The site's certificate does not list the domain name as a match, so a standard browser check may warn about it, but the page itself loads and carries campaign content in her name. On it, she says she studied political science and international relations at the University of British Columbia, worked as a political aide and parliamentary staffer, and has done mental-health advocacy and frontline community work, including in a low-barrier shelter and an overdose-prevention setting. These are the campaign's own claims about her background and have not been confirmed by an independent source.

A candidate profile submitted to VoteMate for the 2020 BC election under the same name says the candidate studied political science and international relations at the University of British Columbia, worked as a political aide at the provincial level and as a staffer for Jody Wilson-Raybould, and volunteered as a support worker. That profile is a 2020 campaign submission and is not confirmed by an independent source. The Facebook page that the City's council candidate list links for Chocyk describes her, in its own words, as the 2026 TrueBlue candidate for city council and school board trustee and as a former People's Party of Canada regional coordinator.

voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list and the campaign material linked under Sources. The campaign has not been contacted, and no candidate-supplied content beyond the pages listed here appears on this page.

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.

24 commitments shown · Checked Oct 3

Property taxes

Restrain property-tax increases, conduct a citywide spending review, cut waste and bureaucracy, and protect homeowners, renters, seniors and small businesses from continually rising municipal costs.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This is TrueBlue Vancouver's own platform text, repeated word for word on Chocyk's VoteMate profile and labelled a TrueBlue promise, not Chocyk's own words. It names no percentage cap, no dollar target and no list of programs to cut.
What still needs checking
What tax increase figure Chocyk would personally accept, and which specific spending lines she would cut.

Housing permits and fees

Reduce municipal fees, permitting delays and unnecessary regulations that increase the cost of building homes, and fast-track permits that meet existing rules.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It names no specific fee, no discount amount and no permit-time target.
What still needs checking
Which fees would be reduced, by how much, and what permit timeline would count as success.

Opposition to the Villages Plan

Strongly oppose the Villages Plan and its density changes, and protect established neighbourhoods, parking, infrastructure and local decision-making from what the party calls top-down planning.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It does not say what would replace the plan or how approvals already granted under it would be handled.
What still needs checking
What Chocyk would put in place of the Villages Plan, and what happens to work already done under it.

Local control over zoning

Enforce local control over zoning decisions, reject provincial blanket-densification mandates, and give residents binding input on development proposals before density is added.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It does not explain what a council can lawfully do if provincial law requires a zoning change.
What still needs checking
What legal route a council has to refuse a provincial housing requirement.

Police funding

Reject calls to defund the police, maintain strong police funding, and ensure officers have the staffing, training and resources the party says they need.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. No budget figure is given.
What still needs checking
What police budget number is being proposed, and what it is compared against.

Drug policy

Oppose the normalization of hard drug use and focus City resources on prevention, treatment, recovery and enforcement against traffickers and dealers.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It does not say which existing city or health programs would end, or who would pay for new treatment capacity.
What still needs checking
Which services would be removed, and where new treatment capacity would come from.

Road pricing and parking

Defend driver choice, end road-pricing proposals and preserve accessible neighbourhood parking.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. No parking supply target is given.
What still needs checking
Whether the campaign opposes a regional road-pricing scheme as well as a city one.

Audit existing bike lane infrastructure, with the stated aim of restoring traffic flow, and redesign or remove lanes the party says unnecessarily worsen traffic or eliminate parking.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It does not say which lane would be removed or what evidence would decide the outcome.
What still needs checking
Whether any specific existing bike lane would be removed, and on what evidence.

Green building rules

Repeal municipal green building mandates, complex retrofits and gas-stove bans, and let builders and homeowners choose their own heating, cooling and energy sources.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It does not name the specific bylaws involved or say what would happen to the City's emissions targets. As party text it earns the one-point party reference on climate; only Chocyk's own words could earn more, and none were found.
What still needs checking
Which building bylaws would be repealed, and what happens to the City climate targets that depend on them.

Park and public space bylaws

Enforce public space bylaws in parks and green spaces, and clear encampments while pairing enforcement with shelter, treatment and recovery options.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It does not say where people removed from a park would go. Parks and green spaces are a Park Board responsibility, not a City Council one, so this sits outside the council office.
What still needs checking
What shelter or housing would be offered before an encampment is cleared.

Communities, schools and accountability

The party's home page gives Chocyk's own focus as stronger communities, better schools and accountable leadership.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
This one-line summary sits under Chocyk's name specifically, not the generic line the party uses for a candidate who has not supplied their own text. It names no service, budget line, number or date, and mixes several topics in one phrase, so it is tagged to no scored issue and earns no points beyond the position credit.
What still needs checking
What this would cost, who would deliver it, and by when.

Party list of ten priorities

The party page says every one of its candidates is expected to campaign on its ten listed priorities and to be held to them in office.

This describes a party practice applied to every TrueBlue candidate, not a statement from Chocyk herself.
What still needs checking
Which priority the party or Chocyk would act on first, and at what cost.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
One line on her campaign site's priorities list. It names no consultation process, committee or date.

Put students and learning first

Chocyk's campaign site says she would champion safe schools, strong academics, parental involvement and responsible school governance.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
One line on her campaign site's priorities list. Schools are a School Board responsibility, not a City Council one, so this sits outside the council office even though it names no measure, cost or date either.
What still needs checking

Keep Vancouver moving

Chocyk's campaign site says she would back transportation and street design that reflects how residents, workers, families and businesses actually move around the city.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
One line on her campaign site's priorities list. It names no street, route or date.
What still needs checking

Cut red tape for local businesses

TrueBlue Vancouver's platform says the party would cut red tape, protect access to commercial parking, and reduce the costs and obstacles facing local businesses.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text; no page names Chocyk individually on this point. It gives no fee amount, no permit timeline and no date. voche.me's issue scoring gives no party-reference point on economy for any candidate, so this earns no points unless Chocyk states it in her own words, and no such statement was found.
What still needs checking
Which specific fees or rules Chocyk would change for small businesses.

Encampment enforcement paired with shelter

TrueBlue Vancouver's platform says it would keep sidewalks, parks and public spaces usable for everyone, pairing firm enforcement against permanent encampments with shelter, treatment, recovery and transitional-housing options.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, also shown on Chocyk's VoteMate profile as a TrueBlue promise. It names no number of shelter spaces, no cost and no date.
What still needs checking
How many shelter or transitional-housing spaces the party or Chocyk would fund, and by when.

Accountable and transparent City Hall

TrueBlue Vancouver's platform says it would publish clear information about City spending, hold elected officials and departments accountable, and give residents a stronger voice before major decisions are made.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text; no page names Chocyk individually on this point. voche.me's issue scoring gives no party-reference point on governance for any candidate, so this earns no points on its own; Chocyk's own words on accountability and consultation are recorded separately above and do earn a position point.
What still needs checking
Which specific reporting rule or consultation process the party or Chocyk would introduce.

Police liaison programs in schools

TrueBlue Vancouver's text on Chocyk's School Board VoteMate profile says the party would support police liaison programs in Vancouver schools to improve safety and respond to violence, gangs, weapons and serious threats.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, labelled a TrueBlue promise on her School Board profile, not her own words. It names no number of officers, no cost and no date. It belongs to her School Board candidacy and sits outside the council office.

Rules against bullying and harassment in schools

TrueBlue Vancouver's text on Chocyk's School Board VoteMate profile says the party would enforce strong rules against bullying, threats and harassment and apply the same standards to every student.

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Party platform text, labelled a TrueBlue promise on her School Board profile, not her own words. It names no Board policy, cost or date. It belongs to her School Board candidacy and sits outside the council office.

Turner reports that Chocyk answered criticism by arguing the LGBT movement reduces the freedom and happiness of others, and that 2SLGBTQIA+ people tolerate other faiths while treating Christians differently. No separate campaign statement on the post was found.

Verified status and limits

No news organisation was found to have reported on the post. The Vancouver Granville 2019 and Vancouver-False Creek 2020 results do list a candidate named Naomi Chocyk, with 431 votes, 0.81 percent, and 280 votes, 1.14 percent. The Facebook page the City's 2026 candidate list links for Chocyk calls her a former People's Party of Canada regional coordinator, and her 2026 campaign site describes the same education and political work as the 2020 VoteMate profile under her name. No official or news source states that the 2019 and 2020 candidate is the same person. On October 3, 2026 the post was still online.

Daily Hive

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

Chocyk's own campaign website, naomichocyk.com, is reachable and carries six short council-relevant priority statements in her name, but none states a number, a cost or a date, so no statement earns a mechanism, target, cost or timeline point. The site had not changed between September 26 and October 3, 2026. Her council and School Board VoteMate profiles reproduce TrueBlue Vancouver's platform text word for word, each item labelled a TrueBlue promise, and both state that she has not added a biography. TrueBlue Vancouver's 49-page full platform document was read in full: no chapter or line mentions child care or arts and culture. A search for Chocyk's name together with climate, child care, arts and culture returned no page connecting her to those topics. No news interview, debate appearance, questionnaire answer in her own words or 2026 campaign event naming Chocyk was found beyond the ballot listing, the Vote Palestine Vancouver list and the Wilbur Turner blog post. HUB Cycling's voter page, Women Transforming Cities' pledge page and the Downtown Vancouver business association's election survey page carry no text naming her; the Women Transforming Cities results table is an image, so voche.me cannot tell whether she appears in it. Her X account could not be read without signing in, and her Facebook page shows only its description to a reader who is not signed in. The link between the 2026 candidate and the person of the same name who ran federally in 2019 and provincially in 2020 rests on her own Facebook description, the matching biography and Turner's post; no official or news source states it. No dated, independently sourced public action by Chocyk was found, so no program entry is recorded. Her two nomination filings have not been read. The City's school trustee candidate list blocked automated reads on October 3, 2026; a person must open it directly.

What voche.me has checked

Evidence reviewed on October 3, 2026: Chocyk's own campaign website, the TrueBlue Vancouver home, platform and about pages, her two VoteMate profiles (council and School Board), the City's council candidate list, the Elections BC register of elector organizations, the Facebook page the City lists for her, the Vote Palestine Vancouver candidate list, public forum listings, and a web search for independent reporting. Her campaign website and party pages had not changed since September 26.

Six council-relevant statements in Chocyk's own words and fifteen party commitments are recorded here, each checked against the page that carries it. Both VoteMate profiles reproduce the party's platform text word for word, labelled as TrueBlue promises, and say she has not added a biography.

Corrected on October 3, 2026: Elections BC registered TrueBlue Vancouver as an elector organization on August 4, 2026, although the party's own About page still says it is not registered.

Checks still to do: request separate, council-specific commitments with numbers, costs and dates; read her two nomination filings; read the City's school trustee list, which blocked automated reads on October 3.

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.

Also a School Board candidate, ballot number 318

The City's final school trustee list carries Naomi Chocyk as ballot number 318 for the Vancouver School Board. The council entry on this page is ballot number 154. Both are current candidacies in the same election.

City Council and the School Board decide different things, so a council commitment does not describe what this candidate would do as a trustee. This review scored the council candidacy only.

Her School Board profile on VoteMate, read on October 3, 2026, carries only TrueBlue Vancouver's party text, labelled as TrueBlue promises: for example police liaison programs in schools and firm rules against bullying and harassment. It says she has not added a biography. Two of these party commitments are recorded below as School Board items.

This site keeps one profile per person. The School Board candidacy does not have its own page, so it will not appear when the directory is filtered by School Board.

Space for campaign updates

Corrected the party's registration status and added new sources

Corrected the biography: it said TrueBlue Vancouver was not yet registered with Elections BC, taken from the party's own About page. Elections BC's register shows the party was registered as an elector organization for Vancouver and the Vancouver School Board on August 4, 2026, so the official record now carries the fact and the About page is described as out of date. Corrected the green building commitment, which said it earned no party-reference point on climate; it now does, because TrueBlue's climate platform has been reviewed. Read the City's council candidate list through a reader service and added her Facebook and X links from it. Added her School Board VoteMate profile and two party commitments from it, the Vote Palestine Vancouver listing of her as declining its platform, an October 13 online food policy town hall open to all candidates (attendance not confirmed), and an experience section drawn from her campaign site and attributed to it. No earlier calendar event had to be removed.

Read the update

Tagged the dossier for scoring and found the candidate's own campaign website

Read Chocyk's own campaign website, naomichocyk.com, for the first time: earlier research had found it unreadable, but it now returns a full page, reachable with certificate verification turned off because it serves a wildcard *.github.io certificate that does not list the domain. Corrected the biography and research-status text that said no candidate-supplied content existed. Found that Chocyk's VoteMate profile reproduces TrueBlue Vancouver's platform text word for word, labelled a TrueBlue promise rather than her own words, so retagged the twelve existing commitments drawn from it as party text (own: false) rather than her own statements, and corrected their wording and sourcing to match. Added six commitments in Chocyk's own words from her campaign site, covering taxes and budget, housing, public safety, transport and governance, plus one on schools tagged outside the council office. Read the party's 49-page full platform document in full and confirmed it has no chapter or mention of child care or arts and culture anywhere in its text, while its climate chapter exists but is not yet reflected as researched in TrueBlue's own party record, so climate carries no position point for now. Added two further party-text commitments, on small business and on City Hall transparency, to cover the economy and governance issues; voche.me's scoring gives no party-reference point on either issue for any candidate. Scored the city council candidacy only, per this record's scope; the School Board candidacy at ballot 318 is unchanged.
