ABC Vancouver
ABC Vancouver is a municipal political party in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is led by incumbent mayor Ken Sim. History

Formation 
Three of five city councillors elected under the NPA banner in the 2018 Vancouver municipal election – Rebecca Bligh, Lisa Dominato, and Sarah Kirby-Yung – joined ABC Vancouver and ran with the party in the 2022 Vancouver municipal election. The NPA's 2018 mayoral candidate, Ken Sim, was acclaimed as ABC's 2022 mayoral candidate. All ABC Vancouver candidates were elected in the 2022 municipal election. Sim was elected as Mayor with 50.96% of the popular vote, defeating his closest rival incumbent Mayor Kennedy Stewart by 36,139 votes or 21.48% of the popular vote. In government 
With the party forming a majority on council, ABC approved several of its key policy planks in the first few council meetings of the 2022–2026 term, including adopting the IHRA definition of antisemitism, green-lighting "urgent measures to uplift Vancouver’s Chinatown," and directing city staff to budget $16 million to hire 100 police officers and 100 mental health nurses. In early 2023, the ABC park board majority voted to remove most of the temporary Stanley Park bike lane in favour of replacing the bike lane with new, permanent cycling infrastructure. The first budget approved by the ABC-led council included increases in funding to the City's road maintenance, horticulture, mental health crisis response, and snow removal budgets, as well as funding increases to the Vancouver Police Department and Vancouver Fire and Rescue Services. The council majority also voted to transition the City's base wage rate on a five-year average rolling living wage. In May 2023, the ABC council majority voted to make numerous changes to the City's 'Empty Homes Tax' including additional exemptions and a decision to maintain the tax's rate at 3%. Among the changes was a decision to retroactively exempt standing inventory from the tax. Fulfilling an ABC election promise, the municipal government announced in June 2023 that the city's new Chinatown satellite office would open in July, bearing the name of Won Alexander Cumyow. The office, which will provide local services in Mandarin and Cantonese, will be located in the city-owned Chinatown Plaza mall on Keefer Street. The ABC-led Council also unanimously supported a motion to support improved municipal services in South Vancouver and Marpole. Electoral results
