2026 is set to be a big year for the City of Vancouver and we will need all hands on deck. I'm proud to support the decision for staff to return to working in-office five days a week.
City of Vancouver staff will be required to come into the office 5 days per week starting in January 2026. About 1,400 non-unionized and exempt staff are under the new rules. #vanpoli
