Vancouver Rundown Monday October 19, 2026

Vancouver is the first major Canadian city to elect a Green mayor. Pete Fry, 57, has defeated incumbent mayor Ken Sim by more than 30,000 votes in Saturday’s civic elections. Along with the win, Fry will have a city council made up of many left-of-centre councillors. Sim’s ABC party failed to elect all but one of its candidates - Mike Klassen. Fry has been a city councillor since 2018.
