Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
Menon is listed at ballot number 200 for Park Board with Vote Vancouver.
Vote Vancouver party announces first nine candidates to run in civic election
Kenneth Chan reported the first nine Vote Vancouver candidates. Menon is named as a park board candidate and described as a product development leader and Qmunity board member. The article quotes party founder and mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh on the team.
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 interview, speech or debate appearance by Menon was found. Vote Vancouver's events page lists no event after September 20, 2026, so no campaign event in the voting period could be confirmed. The Business in Vancouver 40 under 40 listing for 2019, the consumer product launch and the MBNA management programme all come from the campaign page and were not confirmed against an outside source. Vote Vancouver's platform page sets out housing, economy, transport and community sections but publishes no separate park board platform, so the park promises here come from Menon's own VoteMate answers.
