TEAM for a Livable Vancouver (TEAM) is a municipal political party in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It was established by Vancouver city councillor Colleen Hardwick, first elected in 2018 with the Non-Partisan Association (NPA), and a group of citizens from across the political spectrum who shared Hardwick's concerns about the nature and direction of city policies regarding budget priorities, property development, and engagement with residents and neighbourhoods. [5]
The party derives its name from former mayor Art Phillips' The Electors' Action Movement (TEAM). The new party held a conference in 2021 to develop policy directions, which were later ratified by the membership. [6]
Hardwick was acclaimed as TEAM's 2022 mayoral candidate in March 2022. [7] At a general meeting on June 11, TEAM members nominated six candidates for city council: Cleta Brown, Sean Nardi, Param Nijjar, Grace Quan, Stephen Roberts and Bill Tieleman. [8] Brown made a previous run for council in 2014 as a Green Party candidate, [9] and Roberts ran provincially with the BC Liberals. [10] Longtime NDP strategist Tieleman told The Georgia Straight that TEAM "will make affordable housing, public safety and city services and livability the priority". [11]
TEAM has been described as a centre-right party; [12] however, some have also identified it as centrist, big tent, or syncretic, given its platform favouring vacancy control [13] and use of city land to build affordable housing, [14] and its refusal to accept personal election contributions from major corporate property developers.

CityCaucus.com was a well-known online multi-author blog focused on coverage of Vancouver municipal civic affairs. It was co-founded by Daniel Fontaine, the former chief of staff of Vancouver Mayor Sam Sullivan, and Mike Klassen, the former vice chair of the Vancouver City Planning Commission. During the Vancouver 2010 Olympics the blog offered a popular free-event guide. The blog was called partisan by some while being acknowledged for its investigative reporting, and being at the front of political conversation in Vancouver. The blog broke the 2010 story on Vancouver city staff being unhappy and having fears of aggressive agenda implementation by the ruling Vision Vancouver party. The Vancouver municipal government made an unprecedented decision to respond to the blog's criticism of a trade mission to China in September 2010.
