About Me

I ran unsuccessfully for Vancouver City Council with the NPA in the 2008 election with Peter Ladner and in 2011 with Suzanne Anton.

Sandwiched in between was a great deal of civic involvement including service on the boards of the Vancouver Recital Society as VP & Chair of the Futures Committee; the Langley Community Music School as chair of Strategic Task Force; False Creek Residents Association as Chair of Membership; the Board of Trade membership marketing committee; and a fundraising committee for Vancouver’s extraordinary Borealis String Quartet.

I also served as VP of the NPA Board in addition to Outreach chair and Caucus Support, and served as a policy advisor for Councillor Anton.

Born in Vancouver, I spent my life in the arts, first as a violinist that played professionally in the Victoria Symphony, later as a manager and eventually a VP with Columbia Artists in New York. I lived there for twenty years before moving back home to marry my life-partner Tom.

Together we founded and now run ArtistManager.Net – Talented Websites for The Most Talented People in the World – with more than 100 clients in North America and Europe.

    Go, Sean, go!

    I’m sure you will be a great addition to the NPA team and, after the November election, to the great city of Vancouver.

    Hi Sean,
    I’m writing to invite you to a fund-raising concert I have organised for BC Children’s Hospital Foundation.
    I have brought 5 dazzloing violininsts together, and formed a 25 piece string orchestra, of elite players made up of University and colege students and University gradustes.
    It is calle JOY of MUSIC
    go to http://www.tonistanick.ca/events for details and http://www.tonistanick.ca/videos fro live footage of some of the performers.
    This has been a labour of love for me, and it is very exciting! I hope you can be a part of it by attending the concert, and joining us afterwards to celebrate my 50th.
    Look forward to hearing from you!
    Toni Stanick

    Saw you interviewed on noon-news Global today and did a double take – to jog your memory – UBC School of Music, late 70s or early 80s – I was the administrator – we shared an office for a while – thinking you were in NY all this time – glad to see you are back and successful here in the Lower Mainland. would love to hear from you – if you remember me! :-) ))) perhaps you remember Isabel?

    If you are going to run for City Council – are you planning to run for Vision or NPA?

    Hi Camille,
    I appreciate you asking, and hope to announce my plans in April. As to party, I don’t believe in ideology, which is why I’ve been a member of the Non-Partisan Association since September of 2008, and I remain a member in good standing today.
