He served on the Park Board in the early 1990s and on city council from 1999 to 2005, for COPE. Wikipedia lists him as a potential COPE candidate for mayor in 2026; he did not stand in the 2026 Vancouver mayoral election.

Career

The Georgia Straight describes Louis as a lawyer who served two terms on the Vancouver Park Board in the early 1990s and two terms on city council from 1999 to 2005, where he chaired the finance committee. After the COPE split, he sided with the COPE Classic faction, and voters removed him from council in 2005. In 2011 he won the COPE nomination ahead of incumbents David Cadman and Ellen Woodsworth.

Positions

According to the Georgia Straight, Louis championed neighbourhood-level decisions on development projects, an ethical-purchasing policy against sweatshop labour enacted in February 2005, reduced police budgets in favour of social services, and opposition to shifting property tax from businesses to residents.
