Spacing Vancouver brings together contributors from all facets of the urban experience – transportation policy wonks and affordable housing activists alike. Our contributors are volunteers, flaneurs, and professionals, with interests as diverse as our city’s urban landscape.<\/p>\n

While we would not presume to tell you how to cast your ballot, you might be feeling lost with only one day left before election day – so we’ve compiled a list of council candidates that we think deserve a closer look. Check out the City of Vancouver’s website for details on\u00a0how<\/a> and where<\/a> you can cast a vote to support our shared urban environment on Saturday, November 19.<\/p>\n

More than a dozen contributors have pooled their preferences to produce the following list, ordered in rough decending order. All four major slates are represented, as are the lone Green and key independent – and while the vast majority of those who contributed plan to vote for Gregor Robertson to continue as mayor, Randy Helten and Suzanne Anton did register in our poll.<\/p>\n
