Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
A list of all 130 council candidates in ballot order. Mundra is listed at number 130 for TEAM. The article carries no comment on individual candidates.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
A news search returned no article about Mundra other than the full candidate list. No interview, forum appearance or independent profile was found. The engineering career, the non-profit board seats, the Diabetes Canada volunteering and the Indo-Pacific Foundation membership rest on TEAM's own pages alone. The Society of Punjabi Engineers and Technologists of BC does not publish a board list that could be checked against this name. The party announcement and the candidate page give different descriptions of where Mundra lives, South Vancouver in one and Riley Park in the other. No upcoming forum listing names Mundra as attending.
