Born and raised in South Vancouver, Ken Sim is a homegrown, self-made entrepreneur and one of the leading candidates to become the next Mayor of Vancouver. He is the founder of Nurse Next Door and Rosemary Rocksalt, and now he is representing Vancouver's oldest civic party, the Non-Partisan Association (NPA), in the upcoming municipal election. He addresses housing affordability, city congestion (yes, bike lanes!), running a business in Vancouver, the Downtown Eastside, seniors, and the media's racialization of politics.
