Trey Bell
Independent for District of North Vancouver Council
I strongly support making sure North Vancouver's unique environment is protected, and that we use science to guide our decision making. I believe we can have moderate growth, with more programs to allow first time homebuyers or renters to live in North Vancouver.
Climate Change
Active Transportation
A growing area of our transportation infrastructure is biking. I support creating a better network of bike lanes across the district.
Electric Bikes & Scooters
I would like to see more development proposals that include E-bike sharing programs in the district.
Energy-Efficient Buildings & Retrofits
I support the district's plan to make all new large developments energy efficient and would like to see more done to encourage retrofitting.
Green Space
I am committed to protecting and preserving natural forests and green spaces, through expanding and improving the parks system.
I support expanding the parks system, and I am against any development that takes away green space anywhere in North Vancouver.
Private Vehicles
By utilizing the town centre's recognized in the OCP, we can create walking & biking friendly areas for local residents.
Zoning
We should be re-visiting the OCP in terms of expanding the parks system, as it outlines in various areas of North Vancouver.
Housing & Homelessness
Affordability
We can work with developers to gain community benefits such as rent to own programs, affordable rental units, and more housing diversity.
Indigenous-Led Housing
The district has an important role to play in reconciliation. Working with and supporting First Nations on land rights should be a priority.
Property Taxes
I would always put the taxpayer's interests first and vote to keep taxes low. My goal would be less than 2% per year rise.
Rent
We should be approving more designated rental, and affordable rental units. Rent to own programs should be encouraged for developers.
Zoning
We should be re-visiting the OCP in terms of expanding the parks system, as it outlines in various areas of North Vancouver.
Human Rights
Physical Accessibility
We should be making accessibility a priority in parks planning, and when we examine new development proposals.
Recent Immigrants
I think with well thought out, smart planning decisions, we can be a place welcoming to new immigrants.
Public Safety & Policing
Police Funding
I support the police, and believe in programs that connect police with youth to start relationships built on trust.
Police Wrongdoing & Accountability
Police should be held to the highest standards, and the public should always feel that the police are working for them.
Public Spaces & Services
Green Space
I am committed to protecting and preserving natural forests and green spaces, through expanding and improving the parks system.
I support expanding the parks system, and I am against any development that takes away green space anywhere in North Vancouver.
Public Washrooms
I support having more public washrooms in parks, so that families don't need to leave as soon as their child needs the washroom.

We should be re-visiting the OCP in terms of expanding the parks system, as it outlines in various areas of North Vancouver.
Reconciliation & Indigenous Nations
Indigenous-Led Housing
The district has an important role to play in reconciliation. Working with and supporting First Nations on land rights should be a priority.
Land & Governance
Working with and supporting the Tsleil-Waututh Nation and Squamish Nation on land rights should be an utmost priority.
The UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples
I fully support the Union of BC Municipalities declaration that, "Relationships are central to reconciliation"
