Lee (lawyer) Cherie Payne (lawyer) Parks Board Suzanne Anton (former prosecutor) Allan DeGenova (incumbent) Clarence Hansen (incumbent) Ian Haywood-Farmer (retired) Dianne Ledingham (incumbent) Laura MacDiarmid (incumbent) Christopher Richardson (incumbent) There were four unsuccessful city council candidates: former Musqueam chief and 2001 BC Liberal candidate Gail Sparrow, Vancouver School Board chair Barbara Buchanan, lawyer and urban planner David Fushtey, and current school trustee Bill Yuen. All of the party's 2002 school board candidates were acclaimed; human resources consultant Robert Haines failed in his bid to win a parks board nomination. Looks like you'll have George Puil to kick around for a while yet... Puil, incidentally, admitted some responsibility for the 2001 bus strike, but said that he and his councilmates had no choice but to take the action that they did. Have fun... -- ian a. king / east vancouver, bc / ianking [at] shaw [dot] ca visit http://vancouverscrum.blogspot.com at your own risk remove upper-case letters from e-mail address when replying
