Visited 20+ businesses in Chinatown last week — listening to owners & customers about challenges & opportunities.
Feedback was overwhelmingly positive. One owner said their revenue is up 20%!
We’ve made great progress, but we’re not stopping here: more to come for this historic neighbourhood.

VanStat will make Vancouver’s city government more transparent, accountable, and results-driven — breaking down silos so departments work together, not separately.
Residents should experience an integrated city, not 15 departments — and VanStat ensures we deliver services that way. 💪🏙️

Richie Jen’s concert in Vancouver — what a wave of nostalgia!
Smiled, laughed & even teared up. Every song brought back memories of a simpler, more innocent & happier time.
Thx Richie for reminding us how powerful music can be & how deeply it connects to our hearts. Great to see MP Wade Chang! ❤️
