[Back to Independent Parks Party ](https://voche.me/parties/independent-parks-party) [**5**Candidates](https://voche.me/parties/independent-parks-party/candidates) [**0/10**Issues with published policy](https://voche.me/parties/independent-parks-party/platform) [**5**Sources on file](https://voche.me/parties/independent-parks-party/money) **8**Questions answered THE SHAPE OF THIS SLATE ## What Independent Parks Party is asking for Independent Parks Party is contesting one race. All 5 of its candidates are standing for Park Board, where 7 seats are being filled on October 17. Its Park Board slate of 5 is large enough to take a majority if every one of those candidates won. Independent Parks Party is not running a candidate for mayor, so it is contesting Park Board only. A party can hold seats on any of those bodies without contesting the mayoralty, and two parties on this ballot are doing exactly that. 5 OF 7 SEATS CONTESTED ## Park Board [202**Leonard Vanderstar**Ballot 202](https://voche.me/candidates/leonard-vanderstar) [213**Cam Rothery**Ballot 213](https://voche.me/candidates/cam-rothery) [224**Brynja Marshall**Ballot 224](https://voche.me/candidates/brynja-marshall) [226**Michael Robert Caditz**Ballot 226](https://voche.me/candidates/michael-robert-caditz) [231**Niknaz Alemi**Ballot 231](https://voche.me/candidates/niknaz-alemi) ### Independent Parks Party is not running for Mayor, City Council, School Board No Independent Parks Party candidate appears on the official City of Vancouver candidate list for these races. A blank here records that, and nothing more. ### How a candidate is linked to a party Only the official City of Vancouver candidate list decides which party a candidate belongs to on this site. A party's own list of candidates is not enough on its own, and a candidate running with no party is never attached to one. ## Sources A source marked SAYS SO ITSELF is the party's own material. It proves what the party claims, not that the claim is true. 1. [Independent Parks Party website ](https://parksparty.vote/)SAYS SO ITSELFIndependent Parks Party · checked September 22, 2026 2.
