There are ten topics, from Community Representation to Schools. Each topic has a short page with the party's view of "what's gone wrong" and a numbered list of solutions, and a longer "learn more" page with a full list of action items. These pages sort those ten topics into sections and split the longest ones into chapters. Each chapter lists every commitment the party makes on that subject, using the longer page as the main source and adding items that appear only on the short page. Where the same promise appears under two topics, it is listed once. We added one thing the party does not give: which government would have to act for each commitment, and why. The council sections cover City Hall and finances, housing and planning, public safety, the environment, transportation, and the economy and culture. The Park Board section covers the board's future, parks and trees, and recreation. The School Board section covers school planning and what happens in classrooms. ### This is the party describing its own plans The Our Positions is a campaign document. We checked it on September 30, 2026. Every page in this section reports what the party says it would do, links each chapter to the party page it comes from, and adds who would have to act. voche.me wrote these pages. The party did not write or approve them. EIGHT SECTIONS ## The platform, section by section [

Where a commitment needs the province, the federal government or a regional body, the party can only ask.
