Toronto Ward Profiles — all 25 wards

Reading this in real time: every registrant figure below — who’s filed, incumbency, candidate counts — is a snapshot as of 2026-08-14, from the City Clerk’s candidate feeds. Nominations close Friday, August 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. — this page re-pulls and re-stamps every registrant figure after that date. Geography, transit, development and census figures are structural facts that don’t move at nomination close and are dated separately, section by section.

Built for three readers at once: a resident wants sixty seconds — is my ward’s seat contested, who’s running, what does my ward look like. A journalist wants five minutes — the receipted numbers, fast, with a citation trail to verify without re-reporting. A candidate or community organization wants the full depth — every other candidate in the race treated identically, named gaps stated honestly. Every reader gets the same page; only how far you read changes.

📄 Prefer paper or one file? The complete set is also a single print-ready PDF — all 25 wards, 76 pages, figures as of August 15, 2026.

One page per Toronto council ward: who’s running in 2026 with a bio drawn only from their own published campaign material, the 2021 Census layer, the 2022 election result, and ward-specific civic texture — transit, development, local commons, local media — sourced and dated. See State of the Election for the citywide picture and the full State of the Election report for the moving field.

Methodology & firewall

Found a mistake?

That’s the system working. Every figure on this page traces to a public source or a candidate’s own published material, cited in the Receipts section above; if one is wrong, out of date, or reads differently than the source supports, we want to know before anyone else repeats it. Send it to the corrections page — it takes thirty seconds, and every correction is published, dated, and left visible.
