UBCM has directed our solicitor to apply to act as an intervenor in the Cowichan Tribes v. Canada appeal. Our goal is to ensure the Court understands the unique implications this ruling will have on local government’s ability to regulate, tax and service within its jurisdiction.

I’m humbled by the response to the private screening of RESURRECTION. “Poignant. Powerful. Inspiring. A must watch.” For a long time I was the person people warned their kids about. Today, I’m proud to be the person people look to for hope. My purpose now is helping others avoid the road that almost destroyed me. I can’t wait to share this story with everyone soon.

Great news for Vancouver and for policing in B.C. Our government has approved a new satellite police training site in Vancouver, helping reduce wait times for recruits and get more officers serving on the front lines sooner. As a former Vancouver Police officer and the MLA for Vancouver-Yaletown, I’m proud to see this investment in training capacity happening right here in our community.

Today, I spoke with the Jas Johal Show on CKNW about our plan to transform Granville Street between Davie and Georgia into a vibrant pedestrian zone this summer.
 For five weeks during the FIFA World Cup, this five-block stretch in the heart of Vancouver’s entertainment district will be dedicated to people. Granville Street will feature expanded patios, additional public seating, interactive art installations, and a mix of food and merchandise vendors—creating a lively gathering place for both residents and visitors to celebrate sports and soccer in our city.   Programming will be coordinated by the Downtown Vancouver BIA, with additional financial support from the City pending approval of a motion that I am co-sponsoring at council next week. The City will also provide enhanced sanitation and public safety services to support the initiative.   Beyond celebrating the World Cup, this pilot is an opportunity to test what a pedestrian-first, revitalized Granville Streetcould look like long-term—right in the heart of downtown, surrounded by restaurants, music venues, entertainment, nightlife, hotels and more.   I’m looking forward to seeing Granville come alive this summer and hearing your feedback as we explore the future of this iconic street. ⚽️ 🏙️ @downtownvan @FWC26Vancouver

Mayor Sim announces that during the 2026 World Cup, Granville St. between Davie and Georgia will be turned into a pedestrian zone. That means more open patios, fun for all ages, and an opportunity for everyone to enjoy the atmosphere of the games.

Vancouver City Council is looking to increase the maintenance budget for sidewalks & roads by 3x from $34 million to $104 million over the next four years. For just sidewalks, there's a $500+ million repair cost & a 400-year-long backlog. #vanpoli #vanre dailyhive.com/vancouver/vanc…

Nice to see the new wraps for @FIFAWorldCup on the Hudson’s Bay building as excitement builds for this summer’s games in Vancouver.

Over the past two weeks, I’ve had the honour of celebrating Lunar New Year with many amazing communities across our city — proud of our cultural diversity and multiculturalism as we welcome the Year of the Horse 🐎 See you tomorrow at the Vancouver Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade and gala! 🧧

Some levity at Public Hearing this evening! :-)

Honoured to attend the Hon Hsing Open House in our historic Chinatown: a powerful example of how century-old heritage buildings can be stabilized & thoughtfully renewed to support culturally appropriate businesses & new tenants. Especially moving to see the preserved living conditions from the era when my ancestors first built their lives here — protected & treated with the respect they deserve.

Here is a go fund me for 12 year old Maya and her family who is a little hockey player from Tumbler Ridge. Hockey-do your thing. gofundme.com/f/support-for-…

@hourzero Thank you. My heart goes out to the families and community.

@LisaDominato Lisa, thank you for the work you did to promote school safety while you were with the province. Your efforts were not in vane, yet today, we mourn as a nation.

My heart is heavy this evening as I think about the residents and families of Tumbler Ridge this evening. I offer my prayers and condolences to the families, friends and community members who have lost loved ones or are supporting the injured.

Great to welcome a youth robotics team to Vancouver City Hall. Proud to support the next generation of innovators as our city advances high-tech and AI leadership — and especially proud of the youth from Vancouver who will be participating in a world robotics competition. Their creativity and teamwork show how STEM is shaping Vancouver’s future. 🤖🚀
