Promises / Commitments and evidence
## Commitments and the available evidence.
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.
4 commitments shown · Checked Sep 22
2026 · EducationCampaign pledge
### Students feeling safe and supported
The campaign page says Doucas is committed to making sure every student feels safe and supported and can reach their full potential, and that strong public education rests on collaboration, accountability and partnerships between students, families, educators and the community.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- This is the candidate's own campaign page. It describes an aim rather than a measurable step, and no budget or policy change is attached to it.
- What still needs checking
- Which board policy Doucas would change first to deliver this.

2026 · Technology in schoolsCampaign pledge
### Technology and AI tools in schools
Vote Vancouver told The Tyee, through mayoral candidate Rebecca Bligh, that student wellbeing and safety come first with all technology in schools, and that any school board decision on technology including AI tools should be made in consultation with students, families and teachers.
Evidence & next checks
- Evidence reviewed
- This is the party's position, given by the party's mayoral candidate. The Tyee reported on August 11, 2026 that Vote Vancouver had not yet released a platform or policy on student access to AI chatbots, and the party's platform pages set out council commitments with no school board section. No statement by Doucas on the subject was found.
- What still needs checking
- Whether Vote Vancouver publishes a school board platform, and whether Doucas supports a pause on student chatbot accounts.

No independent reporting about Doucas beyond candidate listings and one party survey article was found. The campaign page does not name the elementary school, the provincial sport organisation, the employers or the years, so none of those claims could be checked against an outside source. Vote Vancouver's platform pages set out council commitments and contain no school board section, so the record has no costed school promises.
