West Vancouver

Sometimes they become mayor at a young age.

Brad West in Port Coquitlam, Mark Sager 30 years ago in West Vancouver became a mayor in his 20s as well.

Sometimes they sort of get – once they are deeply involved in politics for the first time and a lot of people involved, a lot of egos, It is tough for them.

We'll see what happens with Suhana.

Oh, boy.

Okay, well, I'm talking about the one in West Vancouver, British Columbia.

Yeah, I knew that this was the one.

And Oak Bay is another one of the municipalities we're going to be watching very closely.

Why is that? Because out of the, I think it's three municipalities in the entire province that had Housing Supply Act orders issued by the province of British Columbia against them, West Vancouver, North Saanich, and Oak Bay.

What will happen to Oak Bay's housing progress reports? Did Oak Bay successfully wait out a BCNDP government so it won't really have to worry about complying with those housing reports going forward? Will they talk about their, let's say, complicated relationship with the province? The province, of course, made Oak Bay somewhat of an example by making it one of the first municipalities in the entire province that actually had a housing advisor appointed by the province of British Columbia.

Now that advisor, as I'm sure many of you remember, didn't find that Oak Bay was doing anything wrong.

And today is the day that many of those new mayors and councillors will be sworn in across the province.

That includes new mayors in Vancouver, Surrey, New Westminster, Delta, West Vancouver, the two Langleys, Souk, Oliver and Prince George.

And they are all part of a sea of change in those municipal elections.

As CBC's Justin McElroy reported, nearly 60% of those incumbent mayors who face challengers lost.

Well, look, it's not just Surrey.

There were a number of new mayors elected, Daniel Fontaine in New Westminster, the new mayor of West Vancouver who signed their Metro Vancouver accountability pledge that want to see major reform.

Those are pieces I tried to champion in my time on the board, but Others will have to take that mantle on.

The premier and the new provincial government have said that.
