2026 Event Overview

Join delegates from MVA member organizations as we prepare for the 2026 municipal elections. Together, we’ll identify shared community priorities, shape our non-partisan civic agenda, and build a strong, united voice to bring to Vancouver candidates.

During the Municipal Election Assembly, we will invite candidates on stage to make clear, public commitments to actions that address the concerns our members are experiencing in their communities. To ensure candidates listen and take these commitments seriously, we must demonstrate our collective power through strong turnout. A large, visible presence of member delegations will show the strength of our alliance and the importance of the issues we are raising.

Our 2026 Campaigns

Housing Campaign

The Housing Action Research Team (ART) is an action group made up of leaders from our member organizations who are dedicated to addressing housing issues in Vancouver. Currently, the team is focused on advocating for more affordable housing, with a particular emphasis on the development of cooperative housing (co-ops) within the city. We are actively working to influence local housing policies and raise awareness of the critical need for sustainable, community-oriented housing solutions. If you are passionate about affordable housing and want to get involved in this important work, we invite you to join us.

Climate Campaign

The Climate Research Action Team launched earlier this year. In that time, we have been educating ourselves on municipal climate issues, and meeting with climate experts to learn more about the possible issues MVA could push the next municipal government to work with us on. To ensure we take action on the issues rooted in the experiences of our communities, we will also be organizing listening sessions in our organizations to talk about how the climate crisis has affected our day-to-day lives. If you are interested in organizing a listening session in your community and want support, email [email protected].
