An investigation into the actions of Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim has found that he “misused the influence of his office” and harassed a councillor in violation of the city’s code of conduct.

The results of the investigation were detailed in a report released this week by Jamie Pytel of Kingsgate Legal, who was hired by the city to look into a complaint lodged by Coun. Sean Orr in October 2025.
