About ABC Vancouver

A real alternative.

ABC Vancouver is a new political party: a broad, inclusive coalition where everyone is welcome.

We are ABC Vancouver. We’re a new political party dedicated to addressing the greatest challenges facing our city.

We want Vancouver to be a city where residents feel safe to walk down the street and a city where every generation can afford housing. We hope to build on Vancouver’s legacy as a sustainable, inclusive, and vibrant city.

ABC was launched as ‘A Better City’ in 2021. Every single ABC candidate for Parks Board, School Board, Mayor & Council was elected in the 2022 Vancouver civic election.
