Ninety-four candidates are seeking to fill the 27 positions up for grabs in Vancouver’s 2011 civic election after nominations closed at 4 p.m. Friday (October 14).
Vision Vancouver incumbent Gregor Robertson faces 11 challengers for the mayor’s chair.
Forty-one candidates are gunning for the 10 spots on city council. Twenty-one hopefuls are going for the seven seats on the park board. The nine-seat school board has garnered 20 contenders.
Eight slates are represented by the candidates. The long-running Coalition of Progressive Electors, Green Party of Vancouver, Non-Partisan Association, and Vision Vancouver are being joined by the fledgling De-Growth Vancouver, Independent Democratic Electoral Alliance, Neighbourhoods for a Sustainable Vancouver, and Vancouver Citizen’s Voice.
Election day is November 19. The ballot will also include three questions on borrowing for the city’s capital plan.
