Development & growth

Planning should begin with the needs of people who already call North Vancouver home, while preparing responsibly for the future.

I will push for responsible growth that respects neighbourhood character while adding the housing North Vancouver needs.

Tenant Protection & Housing: Champions a binding Tenant Relocation Bylaw and a 10-year Revitalization Tax Exemption to incentivize repairing older buildings over demolition.

Parks & Green Space: Plans to convert the city-owned lot on East 1st Street into a permanent park, upgrade sports fields to all-weather surfaces, and incentivize functional green space in new developments.

My priorities are thoughtful growth and housing, with the right homes for families, renters, seniors, and essential workers, supported by the infrastructure and services a growing city needs.

You shouldn’t wake up to sudden developments in front of your house without warning.

I am concerned about the high rate of development, increasing traffic congestion, lack of parking and challenges with new paid parking bylaw regulations.

This must change quickly if we want to address the challenges of supporting an ageing population, reducing commuter traffic, improving affordability, and maintaining our cohesive community character.

We can do this by growing differently – with housing policies that encourage the types of homes people need, reduce costs and delays for new homes, protect existing affordability, and increase non-market housing options.

If elected, Anna will champion attainable housing; match growth with infrastructure and services; improve transportation safety and connectivity for everyone; support families and local businesses; and advance climate resilience.

North Vancouver can grow without losing its heart—remaining connected, thoughtful, and people-first.

I supported North Shore Neighbourhood House redevelopment, including housing for families and workers. I championed pedestrian safety, accessibility, mature tree retention and heritage preservation.

Tony is an advocate for responsible growth, community engagement, vibrant public spaces, transportation choice and long-term planning.

I’ve grown up and lived in North Vancouver all my life, and I’ve witnessed how this community has transformed. That change is only accelerating, and I believe our challenge is to grow while protecting what makes this place our home.

We’re experiencing continued growth, and with it come real challenges—from keeping our neighbourhoods safe and managing tax dollars responsibly to making smart infrastructure decisions. I’ve worked to support responsible growth that protects what we value about our community, while ensuring we don’t place unnecessary burdens on residents.

My priorities are practical: predictable property taxes; housing for families, workers, and seniors that is supported by infrastructure while protecting neighbourhood character and green space; better coordination of road work and a united North Shore voice on transit; responsive municipal services; and stronger wildfire and emergency preparedness.

Build Smarter: Deploy AI-powered instant building permits to slash municipal review delays from months to minutes.

As a renter who commutes daily by transit across the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge, I understand firsthand the challenges many residents face, including traffic congestion, the impacts of growth and development, and the shortage of attainable housing.

I am particularly passionate about addressing affordable housing, homelessness, traffic congestion, and ensuring that the pace of development reflects the needs and priorities of the residents who live here.

I believe we can make room for the future without taking away what people value about the North Shore. My approach is practical: protect what works, fix what does not, and plan ahead.

HOUSING: Homes for every stage of life, in the right places and close to transit, shops and services. The province has set the rules. We can spend years fighting them, or focus on getting the infrastructure and planning right for North Vancouver.

We can't ignore the fact that the region is growing. We can shape that growth, or let it shape us.

I will continue supporting thoughtful housing choices that help young people, families and seniors remain in our community, with most growth focused near town centres, transit, shops and services.

I remain committed to responsible spending, protecting the environment, prioritizing transportation infrastructure, supporting small business, and reviewing our Official Community Plan.

I’m running for District Councillor because I believe North Vancouver is changing, and I want to help us prepare thoughtfully for what comes next while preserving what makes this community special. I care about housing that allows people to put down roots, transportation that works for everyday life, strong neighbourhood connections, responsible growth, environmental stewardship, and preparing our community for climate and technological change.

I believe progress and preservation don’t have to be opposites.

On housing, Jim will support development that addresses the needs of District residents (social, supportive, seniors and rental housing near transit hubs) and will not vote for large, expensive, strata development.

Dan Anderson is running for District Council because our community deserves responsible growth, accountable government, and infrastructure that keeps pace with development.

As a councillor, Dan will work to ensure infrastructure and public facilities keep pace with growth, address transportation gridlock, and protect taxpayers amid rising budgetary pressures. He will advocate for a fair renegotiation of household levies connected to the Wastewater project, meaningful local control over density and zoning, attainable housing for young families, and decisions that protect the balance among people, nature, and community.

Dan is asking voters to join him in restoring local control and building a more liveable, fiscally responsible District of North Van
