Constance Barnes, served 2 terms as Park Board Chair and Commissioner managing a budget of 128 million, was NDP Candidate for Van Centre and brings a wealth of experience in electoral politics.

One of Constance’s fortes is the ability to bring together and collaborate with marginalized, working-class, investors and private sectors, creating understanding and harmony in the community.

Constance has over 10 years Front Line work in the Downtown Eastside, including spearheading a cutting-edge employment program, managing the Overdose Prevention Site, and working with Indigenous community and local artists.
