Vancouver Election Results: Ken Sim rolls over Kennedy Stewart, vows to act fast to add police officers vanpoli
In his acceptance speech at the South Hall in South Vancouver, Sim called the four-year stretch between his 2018 electoral loss and Saturday’s win the “longest job interview ever.”Sim also acknowledged the historic significance of the occasion, as he becomes the first Asian Canadian mayor in Vancouver’s history.
The only mayoral candidate pledging to reverse course on those policies was Coun. Colleen Hardwick, who was elected to council with the NPA in 2018 and ran this year as the mayoral nominee for new party TEAM for a Livable Vancouver. Hardwick finished third in the mayoral race Saturday, with 14,481 votes, with 96 of 106 polls reporting, followed by Mark Marissen with the new party Progress Vancouver, who had 4,947 votes, while the NPA’s Fred Harding was in fifth place with 3,120 votes.
ABC was also successful in electing all of its candidates to park board — which Sim once talked about abolishing before deciding to run a slate — and the school board. “I think we’ve really turned the tide on the housing crisis we have in the city,” he told supporters, citing a shift away from building primarily condos for investors to rental and social housing. He also noted Vancouver was the first major city to decriminalize drugs and deliver safe supply.
