Vancouver’s new COPE-Vision city council is making homelessness a top priority.

Congratulations to the 400 COPE volunteers, staff and candidates! COPE increased its representation on the three boards, electing David Cadman and Ellen Woodsworth for Council, Loretta Woodcock on Park Board and Jane Bouey, Al Blakey and Allan Wong on School Board. Thank you to the unsuccessful candidates Anita Romaniuk, Alvin Singh and Bill Bargeman who were an integral part of one of our strongest campaigns. The Vancouver Greens elected Stuart Mackinnon and Vision Vancouver elected majorities on all three boards. Together, we are bringing progessive government back to Vancouver!

In the midst of "Millennium-Gate" and other partisan charades, COPE and Vision female candidates were joined at Anducci’s Pub/Resta

COPE Councillor David Cadman and council candidate Ellen Woodsworth are backing residents of Little Mountain Housing Complex (LMHC) who are delivering a "people's stop work order" to halt demoltion of affordable housing in the 224-unit site.

COPE Councillor David Cadman and council candidate Ellen Woodsworth rushed to Little Mountain housing complex  today after alarmed residents said that BC Housing, the provincial authority that controls the site,  has started to board up windows and doors of the 200-unit site, despite the fact that people are still living in many of the buildings.

The City of Vancouver needs clear guidelines for the use of the $2.5 billion Property Endowment Fund, says COPE council candidate Ellen Woodsworth.

As the dust begins to settle around the Athlete's Village scandal, COPE has released a new YouTube video to help avoid a dust-up of another kind.
