01 / Introduction

About Tasha Doucas

Tasha Doucas appears on the City of Vancouver's final 2026 candidate list for School Board, with ballot number 306. The City records the affiliation as Vote Vancouver.

The campaign says Doucas holds a Bachelor of Education in Elementary Education and speaks English and French. The campaign says Doucas served five years as president of a provincial sport organization. The campaign says Doucas was a Parent Advisory Council executive at a new elementary school, helping write bylaws and lead fundraising.

The Vote Vancouver candidate page describes Doucas as an educator, entrepreneur, governance leader and sports coach who holds a Bachelor of Education in elementary education and speaks English and French.

The campaign page says Doucas served on the executive of a parent advisory council at a newly opened elementary school, helping write bylaws, run fundraising and build links between parents, teachers and school staff. The school is not named.

The campaign page says Doucas spent five years as president of a provincial sport organisation, working on transparency, accountability, strategic planning and governance. The organisation is not named.

The Tyee, reporting on where Vancouver parties stand on artificial intelligence, lists Doucas as one of Vote Vancouver's three school board candidates and describes the candidate as an entrepreneur and educator.

Squash BC's own website independently confirms part of the unnamed sport-organisation claim. A March 10, 2022 profile on squashbc.com names Doucas as the Squash BC Board President, and a July 18, 2024 Squash BC staffing announcement describes her as “a former Squash BC Board President” when she took on the role of interim Executive Director. Squash BC describes itself as “the non-profit Provincial Sport Organization for squash in British Columbia,” matching the campaign's description of an unnamed provincial sport organisation. voche.me found no independent source for the five-year length of the role or for the Parent Advisory Council school.

Doucas appears on the October 17, 2026 ballot at number 306, listed as DOUCAS, Tasha with Vote Vancouver.

In her answer to The Griffins' Nest, the Eric Hamber Secondary student newspaper, published on September 22, 2026, Doucas wrote that she served as Parent Advisory Council secretary for two new elementary schools in School District 93, the province's French-language public school district. She wrote that the parents' group helped build the school community, raised money for gardening and music programs and wrote new bylaws. The schools are not named, and voche.me found no record from the district or the councils that confirms the role.

In the same answer she wrote that she served as a board director and as President of a provincial sport organisation for five years, with a focus on financial planning, governance and succession planning. In a second answer, published on September 28, 2026, she wrote that in corporate work she consulted with litigation lawyers on machine learning tools. No employer is named.

A Vote Vancouver Instagram post that lists her campaign account as a co-author describes her as a parent, educator, governance leader, community sports coach and family caregiver consultant.

voche.me assembled this profile from the official candidate list, the campaign material linked under Sources, her published answers to a student newspaper questionnaire, and independent sources named in each entry. The campaign has not been contacted, and no candidate-supplied content appears on this page.

No statement by Doucas on the subject was found.

Reason for running: quality public education and support for families and teachers

A Vote Vancouver Instagram post that lists her campaign account as a co-author says she is running for Vancouver School Board because she believes every child should have access to quality public education, families should feel supported, and teachers should have the resources they need to help students thrive. The same text says she has seen pressures in Vancouver's public school system, including teacher burnout, attendance challenges, and gaps in support for students with learning differences.

The Vancouver Test applied to every policy (party text)

She lists more consultation with students, teacher workshops to reduce administrative work, guidelines for students and teachers on appropriate AI use and the consequences of misuse, workshops for parents, talks with technology staff in other districts and with Microsoft on safeguards, and regular reviews. In her September 22 answer she also lists a review and consultation on AI and digital safety among her first priorities.

Statement

Answers to The Griffins' Nest questionnaire: why she is running and her priorities

In answers published by the Eric Hamber Secondary student newspaper, Doucas said talks with parents, teenagers and teachers convinced her that public education needs attention, and that she would bring transparency, governance and accountability to the Board. She listed priorities: a review of AI, digital safety and phone use; a review of child care and after-school care; school liaison officers without uniforms; a universal food program; a school in Olympic Village; and decisions on seismic rebuilds.

Statement

Answer to The Griffins' Nest questionnaire on generative AI in schools

Doucas said she supports responsible use of AI with student safety, wellbeing and privacy first, and that schools should not adopt it only because students use it at home. She said AI may help some students with learning differences, and listed steps she would want: more consultation with students, teacher workshops, guidelines on appropriate use, parent workshops, talks on safeguards with other districts and Microsoft, and regular reviews.

No independent news report names Doucas as a school board candidate beyond the Daily Hive ballot listing and the Tyee's survey article, and none was found in a search on October 4, 2026. In her Griffins' Nest answer she places her Parent Advisory Council role at two new elementary schools in School District 93, but names neither school, and no council or district record confirming the role was found. Squash BC's own website confirms she was its Board President and later interim Executive Director, but no source confirms the five-year length the campaign states. Vote Vancouver has not published a school-board section on its platform page; the party's School Board promises appear on VoteMate as party text. Her positions on the Board budget are not found. Her LinkedIn page needs a sign-in and was not read. The personal Instagram account @tashadoucas returned a page saying the profile may have been removed. A World Squash commission list names a Tasha Doucas, but the page gives no detail that ties that name to this candidate, so it is not used. The nomination papers linked from the City's list were not reviewed.

Research status

What voche.me has checked

Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City's candidate list, the party's candidate page, platform and news page, the VoteMate profile, a Vote Vancouver Instagram post co-authored by her campaign account, her answers to two Griffins' Nest questionnaires, a Vancouver School Board project page, two Squash BC pages and the For Our Kids forum listing.

The City's list was read through a reader service because vancouver.ca refuses automated requests. The Instagram post was read from Instagram's public embed page. Everything else was downloaded directly.

Checks still to do: confirm the Parent Advisory Council role and the five-year length of the Squash BC role, review the nomination papers, and see whether Doucas takes part in the October 6 forum.

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. Her questionnaire answers are her own words as published by the student newspaper. Two background facts are independently confirmed by Squash BC's own website; the rest has not been confirmed by an independent source.

Space for campaign updates

Added questionnaire answers, seven positions in her own words and an October 6 forum

Added her answers to The Griffins' Nest questionnaires of September 22 and 28, 2026, and seven commitments taken from them on Board governance, AI in schools, phone use, child care, school liaison officers, school food and new and seismic schools. Added the Vancouver School Board's Olympic Village project page as context, the Squash BC interim Executive Director role to her experience, her campaign Instagram and LinkedIn links from the City's list, and an online forum on October 6. The party's news page no longer shows the candidate caption used for one commitment, so that commitment now also cites the Instagram post that carries the same text.

Squash BC's own website names her as its Board President in a March 2022 profile and as “a former Squash BC Board President” in a July 2024 staffing announcement. This confirms the organisation and the role, but not the five-year length the campaign states, which remains unconfirmed.

Position statements tagged, a duplicate removed, and a new one added

The two existing statements about student support and family partnership are now tagged to the schools issue as the candidate's own words, each checked against the campaign page it quotes. A third entry that combined both sentences into one pledge was removed as a duplicate of the two. A new position, from an Instagram caption embedded on the party's news page, names specific pressures she cites (teacher burnout, attendance, support for students with learning differences) and is added as a new commitment.
