Vancouver City Council Votes To Scrap Single-use Cup Fee

During his first ‘state of the city’ address two weeks ago, new Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim vowed the city’s controversial single-use cup fee would be gone by this summer.

City Council voted to end the city’s 25-cent single-use cup fee after receiving resounding feedback from local businesses, consumers and associations that the fee has been ineffective in its initial goal of reducing the number of single-use cups being used.
