ALL TEN ISSUES
Pick an issue
Each issue below is a real responsibility of Vancouver City Council, the Board of Parks and Recreation, or the Board of Education. Every party on this site is covered on the same ten, so a party cannot look complete by choosing which subjects to appear on.
Housing
ABC’s published platform commits to making City Hall permitting faster and easier.
Homelessness and drugs
ABC addresses homelessness and drugs inside its public safety heading, through involuntary care beds, drug site locations and oversight of public housing.
Public safety
ABC would ban hard drug use in public spaces, push the province for more than 100 involuntary care beds, and move drug consumption sites away from schools and parks.
Transport
ABC’s transport commitments are about parking and road repair.
Parks
ABC commits $400 million to rebuild or revamp five community centres, with another five in the next capital plan, plus a rebuilt Aquatic Centre with a 50 metre pool.
