Accountability Vancouver

A community initiative to ensure your voice shapes the city’s future.

Vancouver is paying more and getting less. Housing is out of reach. Streets don’t feel safe or clean. Taxes keep climbing while basic services slip.

Accountability Vancouver is not a political party. It’s a community-driven initiative to make sure voices are heard, priorities are clear, and whoever wins in 2026 cannot ignore what matters to residents and businesses.

Enough with the platitudes and empty promises. Vancouver’s leaders must be accountability.

What We’re Hearing So Far

So far, Vancouverites keep naming the same concerns:

1

Housing that people can actually afford.

2

Safe, clean, and functional streets.

3

Better value for every tax dollar.

But this initiative is about more than three points. We want to know what’s happening in your neighbourhood, on your block, and in your business. We’ll collect what you share, publish the results, and make sure the next city government knows exactly what needs to be done.

How We Work

  • Gather Input - from residents, businesses, and neighbourhoods across Vancouver

  • Publish Facts - clear briefs and scorecards that cut through the noise

  • Hold Leaders Accountable - so whoever is in office knows they can’t ignore the agenda Vancouverites have set

Why It Matters

In 2026, voters will choose Vancouver’s next mayor and council.

Accountability Vancouver’s role is to make sure the agenda is already set — not by parties, but by the people who live and work here.

Who We Are

A grassroots initiative powered by Vancouverites.

Accountability Vancouver is not a political party. We don’t run candidates, and we don’t make promises we can’t keep. Our mission is to make sure that by the time Vancouverites vote in 2026, the candidates who want to lead this city already know exactly what matters to you.

Our Approach

Gather input from residents and businesses across Vancouver

Analyze the data, publish clear reports, and track progress

Cut through the spin and focus on results

Hold leaders accountable — whoever they are, whatever party they belong to

Our Goal

Vancouver is paying more and getting less. Accountability Vancouver is here to make sure the next city government delivers on what matters most to residents and businesses.

Tell Us What You’re Seeing

Policy starts with people, not politicians.

Vancouver isn’t going to fix itself. The only way the next city government can deliver is if Vancouverites make their voices impossible to ignore. That’s why Accountability Vancouver is gathering input directly from you — residents, business owners, workers, parents, and students.

This is not a token survey that disappears into a filing cabinet. Every response shapes our reports, our scorecards, and the agenda we will put in front of every candidate in 2026.

Why Your Input Matters

  • It sets the priorities for the city’s future — not parties, not insiders

  • It highlights the real, street-level problems City Hall often misses

  • It helps track what’s improving, what’s stuck, and what’s getting worse

  • It shows candidates that Vancouver is paying attention and won’t settle for excuses

What We’re Hearing So Far

Many people are raising the same issues over and over again:

  • Housing that working people can actually afford

  • Safe, clean, and functional streets

  • Better value for every tax dollar

  • Cutting government waste and bloat

But this coalition is about more than these points. We want to know what you see on your block, on your commute, and in your neighbourhood.
