Every day, frontline workers keep this city running by delivering safe streets and parks, maintaining our shared public spaces, staffing community centres and libraries, and providing supports to families, residents, visitors, and some of our most vulnerable community members.
But right now, the services that make our neighbourhoods liveable are on the chopping block.

Reduced access to recreation programs, with shorter hours, higher fees and longer wait lists.Fewer supports for kids, seniors, renters, and newcomers.Slower repairs and maintenance, meaning more potholes, broken sidewalks, and neglected public spaces.Fewer frontline outreach and support workers helping connect people with care and services.
We do not have to accept a city that asks residents to absorb the loss of core services and assume more risk.
A Better Vancouver calls for a better plan:
Protect Core Services: Guarantee zero cuts to frontline services, including community centres, libraries, parks, maintenance, and sanitation.Stop the Job Cuts: Reject any budget approach that relies on cutting the jobs that deliver our core services.Build a Fair Revenue Plan: Ask high-value property owners to pay their share so we can properly fund the needs of a world-class city.Public pressure works. It starts when residents refuse to sit back and accept cuts to the services that make our city livable. Sign up here today and join us.
