Single-sourced WP:BLP of an activist and unelected political candidate, reading suspiciously more like a campaign brochure than an encyclopedia article. I'd be happy to withdraw this if enough sourcing could actually be piled onto his activist work to get him over WP:GNG for that — the city council candidacy, on the other hand, can't get him over WP:NPOL — but nothing here is so inherently notable that it would entitle him to keep an article whose sole source is a blurb in The Georgia Straight. No prejudice against recreation in November if he wins his council seat (Vancouver is one of the cities where incumbent city councillors do qualify for articles on here), but in this state it's a delete.
