V.I.A.'s sibling publication, Business in Vancouver (B.I.V.) is hosting the city's top politician as part of ticketed "conversation" event.
On Feb. 17, after 100 days in office, Mayor Ken Sim will be talking about his decision to enter public life, his goals, and what he's learned so far as mayor of Vancouver. He was elected in a landslide in October 2022 and sworn in shortly after.
His A Better City party swept to power on city council, the parks board, and the school board, with every candidate on their slate winning a seat, and majorities at each table.
Born and raised in Vancouver, before politics Sim co-founded two businesses (Nurse Next Door and Rosemary Rocksalt) and was active in the business world, having won multiple entrepreneurial awards.
Sim will be in discussion with Kirk LaPointe, B.I.V.'s Editor-in-Chief and Glacier Media's VP of Editorial; both Sim and LaPointe ran for mayor under the NPA banner in subsequent elections (Sim in 2018 and LaPointe in 2014).
