For the first time in its 13-year history, Vision Vancouver will not have at least two incumbent councillors on the ballot in a municipal election.

Tonight, party members nominated four candidates to join Vision's Heather Deal on the party's council slate.

They are park commissioner Catherine Evans, social-justice advocate Diego Cardona, sustainable-transportation consultant Tanya Paz, and cable talk-show host and NDP constituency aide Wei Qiao Zheng.

Evans is a former chair of the Vancouver library board and was among the majority of park commissioners who voted to ban the display of cetaceans at the Vancouver Aquarium's facility in Stanley Park.

Cardona was Vision's candidate in last October's council by-election, losing to the NPA's Hector Bremner.

An immigrant from Colombia, Cardona was once a youth in government care. His subsequent efforts on behalf of others in that situation, as well as his other community activities, won him an endorsement from the respected former provincial advocate for children and youth, Mary-Ellen Turpel Lafond, as well as from Vision councillors Andrea Reimer and Tim Stevenson.

Paz has advised several cities as they've introduced car-sharing and is managing UBC's pilot project to share Veemo electric-assist covered vehicles.

Zheng works in the office of Vancouver Kingsway NDP MP Don Davies.

Vision Vancouver members also nominated lawyer Shamin Shivji and Métis business owner Cameron Zubko to run for park board.

The three school board candidates are incumbent Allan Wong and political newcomers Erin Arnold and Aaron Leung.

Heading the ticket is Vision Vancouver mayoral candidate Ian Campbell. He's a hereditary chief with the Squamish Nation and a long-time environmental activist and Indigenous-language supporter.
