The Lodging Tax Advisory Committee is a volunteer body that makes recommendations to the Vancouver City Council about how that tax revenue is spent. Over the years, the committee has helped award hundreds of thousands of dollars in lodging tax grants to local projects and events that increase tourism in the city.

During 2020, operations of LTAC were halted due to the effects of the pandemic. Within that time all eight terms on LTAC had expired. LTAC is now back to working on projects so a recent recruitment for these now mid-term seats was held. Seven sitting members sought reappointment and we received one additional application, for a total of eight candidates for eight mid-term seats. All seven incumbents are being recommended for reappointment and we will open another recruitment for the eight LTAC seat.

Subcommittee 1 had four interviews for four of the eight open seats and they recommend reappointing the incumbents Jordan Boldt, Steve Bowers and Mike McLeod.

Subcommittee 2 had four interviews for four of the eight open seats and they recommend reappointing the incumbents Kari Jonasen, Linda Reid, Brad Richardson and Carla Rise.
