Chloe Leslie is a renter, CUPE member, and food security worker in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside. She’s running for City Council with COPE to fight for affordability, strong public services, local arts and a city that works for everyone.
Since 2020, Chloe has worked to increase food access across Vancouver. As Program Manager at Vancouver Food Runners, she coordinated a network of more than 180 local businesses and nonprofit organizations to redistribute surplus food across the city. She now works on a collaborative food access initiative in the Downtown Eastside, where her work is grounded in dignity, harm reduction, and community-led approaches to poverty reduction.
Chloe Leslie wants to build a local economy that works for people, not just the super-rich. That means support for public grocery stores, tool libraries and repair cafes, and food security programs that stop corporate waste and feed the people.
In a city as rich as Vancouver, no-one should go hungry. As a food security worker in the non-profit sector, she knows how to fight against hunger and poverty. She'll bring her dedication, competence, and experience to fight for communities and make Vancouver more affordable.
