@MikeKlassen If the system were truly clear and fair, you wouldn’t need “listening sessions” after the fact to explain Arts communities aren’t asking for spin they’re asking for consistency, transparency, and support but they’re getting uncertainty and shutdowns instead of a “Fun City.”

There’s been a lot said recently about arts venues and inspections—but some of it doesn’t reflect the full picture. Enforcement decisions are made independently by staff, based on safety and compliance—not politics. Earlier this year, I helped bring operators and staff together to get a conversation started, to build trust, and make compliance clearer and simpler for licensed venues. City staff are now meeting with venue operators, and more listening sessions are being scheduled to improve communication and clarity. Our @Vote4ABC team has consistently supported expanding arts event opportunities—and we’re committed to building a more vibrant, “Fun City.” That means working together, supporting operators, and making sure events are safe and successful. 1/2

@MikeKlassen “Not political” doesn’t land when enforcement disproportionately hits small arts venues while bigger players skate by.

@COPEVancouver @seanorr Calling on the BC government to immediately reinstate the Community Housing Fund and commit to predictable, ongoing capital funding is exactly the kind of leadership we need to deliver real non-market and affordable housing. Important step forward. Let’s keep the momentum going.

@KenSimCity Big headline, smaller reality: $400M is a proposed plan (not guaranteed), builds will take far longer than 4 years, and sites were picked for convenience, not need. Meanwhile, most aging centres are still left behind.

Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity·
We’re making the largest investment in community centres in the City’s history. Council has dedicated $400 million over the next four years to rebuild five of Vancouver’s aging community centres: Dunbar, Hastings, Kensington, Kerrisdale, and Roundhouse. Why these five? We wanted to deliver the greatest possible benefit within a four year window. That meant prioritizing facilities in need of replacement or significant renovation that were exclusively controlled by the City of Vancouver. By selecting these sites, we’ll be able to get started quickly, and deliver better community centres sooner.

@KenSimCity You had four years and the results don’t match the rhetoric. rising housing pressure, visible strain on public services, stalled or scaled-back community programs, and a lot of announcements without follow-through.

Mayor Ken Sim@KenSimCity·
Over the next four years, we’re going to back to basics and back to community. In addition to rebuilding five of Vancouver’s aging community centres, we’re making strategic investments in parks, pools, roads, sidewalks, and so much more. We’re building a better future for Vancouverites, and we’re only just getting started.

@KenSimCity “Back to basics” shouldn’t mean cutting lifeguards, shuttering community offices, and cancelling climate programs while claiming progress. Rebranding neglect as “strategic investment” doesn’t fix crumbling infrastructure or support the people who rely on these services every day

@seanorr @ParkBoardScott ABC Vancouver talks about big investments, but on the ground people are seeing fewer services, stalled projects like Britannia, and less support where it matters most.

If ABC is so proud of its record why do they always limit and delete comments on their posts? 🤔

Let’s talk facts. The City of Vancouver, under Mayor Ken Sim and ABC Vancouver, is advancing one of the most significant proposed investments in community infrastructure in our city’s history. Here is what that looks like: $400 million proposed through the 2027 to 2030 Capital Plan to rebuild and renew five major community centres Dunbar Kerrisdale Hastings Roundhouse Kensington $44 million in recreation and park infrastructure investments through the Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation This is not incremental. This is transformational. From the day I was elected as a Vancouver Park Board Commissioner, I have been fighting for exactly this. Real investment in our community centres, parks, and the infrastructure families rely on every day. For too long, these essential facilities were left behind while priorities drifted. We are now refocusing on what matters most. Strong neighbourhoods. Safe spaces. Accessible recreation. They say dreams do not come true. But in Vancouver, we are proving otherwise. We are fighting for our communities and delivering real results. Proud to stand with Mayor Ken Sim and the ABC Vancouver team as we get back to the fundamentals and build a city that works for everyone. This is what leadership looks like. This is what delivery looks like. @KenSimCity @ParkBoard @Vote4ABC @CityofVancouver @DunbarVillage @KerrisdaleCC @HastingsCommCtr @yvrairport @Canucks #yvr #vanpoli Learn more lnkd.in/gFTqPhCe

@HearTellLearn This is pure spin. A future proposal is being sold as present-day results, and long-planned Park Board projects are being rebranded as political wins. Nothing is funded, nothing is built, and the credit-taking is premature. Angela you sound like a 🤡

@HearTellLearn It’s not “delivery” it’s a proposed capital plan years away from implementation. Most of these projects have been in the pipeline before Ken Sim or ABC Vancouver took office. Repackaging existing priorities as new achievements is misleading.

@marissenmark @victoriajungvan That’s deeply troubling if.. Public funds especially something as important as parks and community spaces should never be used as a political reward system. What about need, equity, and long-term benefit for all residents, not on who might vote for whom.

Ken Sim is proposing to cut one billion dollars from the park board capital plan and allocate what’s left to neighbourhoods he thinks will vote for him in the election. #vanpoli
Kareem Allam@kareemformayor

The @vanliberals plan for our community centres, pools, and parks is $1.35 billion. It’s based on what is actually needed, given the profound lack of investment over the years. Ken Sim is proposing a $1 billion cut from what’s required and $150 million less than the last capital budget. Sign up this April 22nd to speak at council and let Ken Sim know his plan won’t work.

@HearTellLearn Honestly, that’s exactly what makes it feel questionable. If you’re truly confident in your track record, you wouldn’t need to control the conversation so tightly. Limiting and deleting comments just tells us about their manipulation

"As journalists queued up behind the microphone, the first question was about why Sim did not report the image to the police if he believed he had seen evidence of a municipal politician breaking the law. The mayor did not answer." #VanPoli vancouversun.com/opinion/column…

@rrrobbberttt Allegations that serious, made publicly, should be backed up transparently or clearly corrected. This is exactly the kind of situation an integrity review is meant to examine. Should be a walk in the park for the integrity commissioner considering she’s done this before with ABC

WOW UNBELIEVABLE Here’s something the City’s new Integrity Commissioner could sink her teeth into: In a recording to Chinese-speaking reporters, the mayor says in English that Orr “was handing out illegal drugs on Christmas Day to people on the streets.” tinyurl.com/4rj8kr27

@COPEVancouver @seanorr Appreciate Sean Orr stepping up and addressing this head on. That’s what accountability and transparency should look like. Residents deserve clear answers not avoidance. @seanorr for mayor
