Vancouver City Hall could use next year's byelection to seek public's input on park board's future.

Opponents of mayor's plan say the park board’s future should be put to the public in the next municipal election in 2026 .

Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim's plan to dissolve the board was unveiled in December 2023 and hasn't been realized.

B.C. Premier Eby said the city had “a lot of work ahead of them” before the next municipal election.

The city is expected to present an update later this month about the park board transition.

Eby has suggested the province may not be in a rush to make changes before 2026 anyway.
