Councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung

Councillor Sarah Kirby-Yung has a track record in listening to communities and getting things done.

She ran on an NPA platform to tackle housing affordability, alleviate congestion, and improve liveability. For housing, that includes fast-tracking housing for low-income Vancouverites and vulnerable seniors, renewing outstanding co-op leases, and purpose built rental on City lands. As our city densifies, quality amenities are critical, so she will advocate for funding for renewal of aging infrastructure including community centres, rinks, libraries, and firehalls.

Councillor Kirby-Yung was elected to Park Board in 2014 and served as chair. As a commissioner, she was a strong advocate for the protection and expansion of parks, green space, recreational facilities, and amenities to support liveability in Vancouver.

Councillor Kirby-Yung has worked with small business, BIAs, arts and culture, and the tourism sector, and is a strong advocate for seniors.
