Data set description

The City is committed to an open and transparent government. Consistent with this commitment, Council has posted the expenses that each member has incurred while conducting business on behalf of the City, below.

Council expenses consist of two components:

  • A local expense budget provided to individual Council members to cover expenses incurred in the Lower Mainland while representing the City of Vancouver. Each Council member is responsible for ensuring that they do not exceed their annual budget.
  • An annual travel and training expense budget enables Council members to attend meetings, events, and conferences outside the Lower Mainland. Council members must obtain Council approval to attend these events and have the travel expenses covered by the Travel and Training budget.

Data accuracy comments
