A fundraiser and meet-the-candidates social for COPE Vancouver's 2026 campaign.

What to expect:

• Meet City Council candidate Dr. Devyani Singh and Park Board candidate Sacia Burton (and others!)

• Unveiling of COPE's pet-friendly city platform 

• Award-winning craft beer on tap + casual eats from Container Brewing*

• Trivia on the ins and outs of having a dog in the city

• A dog-friendly photo station [this is being confirmed]

• Pet-themed stand-up comedy featuring Megan Milton 

• A chance to connect with other Vancouver pet owners who are done being priced out

*Food and drink not included in ticket price.

Details:

• 📅 Wednesday, October 7, [5 - 8 pm]

• 📍 Container Brewing, 1216 Franklin St, Vancouver, BC V6A 1K1

• 🎟 [sliding scale tickets] — proceeds go directly to COPE's 2026 campaign but no one turned away due to lack of funds / ticket.

• 🐶 Well-behaved, leashed dogs welcome

Why this matters: Pet-friendly housing costs more, and Vancouver's rental market already forces too many people to choose between a home they can afford and a pet they love. COPE is fighting to legalize pets in rentals city-wide, expand off-leash access so no one's walking an hour to find space, and make Vancouver a genuinely dog-friendly city. Come talk to us about it — and bring your fur-baby!
