At the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade, Rebecca Bligh laid out what she says Vancouver businesses and residents should be able to expect from City Hall: predictability, clearer processes, and measurable action.

For local businesses, her commitments include keeping property tax increases tied to inflation and creating a Small Business Concierge: one point of contact at City Hall to help business owners navigate permitting, fire safety requirements, architectural drawings, costs, timelines and approvals across departments.

She also outlined priorities for her first 100 days as mayor:

• Lift the current restriction on new supportive housing and expand housing with wraparound supports.

• Bring the City, Province and Vancouver Coastal Health together to address challenges in the downtown core with shared accountability.

• Identify five City-owned sites to pursue affordable housing in partnership with Build Canada Homes.

The goal is a City Hall that is easier to navigate, more predictable for businesses, and focused on delivering tangible results.

This is the kind of practical work Rebecca says she would prioritize from day one.

Vancouver needs leadership that can bring people together and get things done.

Speaking at the Greater Vancouver Board of Trade this morning, @blighrebecca made the case for a different approach at City Hall: listen, collaborate, and focus on delivering results.

As Rebecca put it: “What this moment needs is a bridge builder, a collaborator, someone who gets things done by listening and working well with others.”

Vancouver can’t afford another four years like this.

It’s time to get our city working again, together.
