Vancouver City Council is the governing body of the City of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The city is governed by the provincial Vancouver Charter, not the Community Charter and the Local Government Act which are used for other municipal governments. The Vancouver Charter gives the city greater powers than those of other municipalities. Powers of the Vancouver council include: City council sits at City Hall at 453 West 12th Avenue. The council consists of the mayor plus ten person council elected to serve a 3 year term. Monthly, a deputy mayor is appointed from among the councilors. The last election was on November 19, 2005. The election prior to the last one was November 16, 2002. Unlike most Canadian city councils, all Vancouver councillors are elected at-large. A proposal to move to a conventional ward system was rejected by voters in an October 17, 2004 referendum.
