Start here. The quickest ways into this page:

The race & the 2022 baseline

• Office: Councillor, Ward 25 - Scarborough-Rouge Park
• Seats: 1
• Incumbent: Neethan Shan — running in 2026: yes — open seat: no

2022 result: Neethan Shan won by 54.7 percentage points over the runner-up — a landslide, not a close call. Source: City of Toronto official 2022 election results, as_of 2026-08-16.

This ward’s own 2022 turnout was 27.25% (20,048 of 73,560 eligible electors cast a ballot) — compared to a citywide 2022 turnout of 29.7% that year. Source: City of Toronto, City Clerk’s Office, “Elections – Voter Statistics” (2022 dataset), cross-checked against the Clerk’s own 2022 Municipal Election Report.

Who’s running here in 2026 (6)

Every candidate filed in this ward as of 2026-08-16, alphabetical by surname, identical fields for every name. Bios are synthesized only from each candidate’s own published campaign material and registry facts — never from news coverage, opposition material, or this project’s own judgment (see Receipts below).

Geography & boundaries

Legal boundary (Elections Ontario legal description, reproduced on Wikipedia; the 25 provincial and 25 municipal wards have shared these same boundaries since the *Better Local Government Act, 2018* took effect December 1, 2018): commencing at the intersection of the Rouge River with the city's northerly limit; thence easterly, generally southerly and generally southwesterly along the city's northerly, easterly and southerly limits (i.e., along the Rouge River/Pickering-Durham boundary and then west along the Lake Ontario shoreline) to the southerly production of Morningside Avenue; thence north along that production and Morningside Avenue to Highway 401; thence west along the highway to Neilson Road; thence generally north along Neilson Road to Morningside Avenue; thence north along Morningside Avenue to an electric power transmission line; thence east along that transmission line to the Rouge River; thence generally north along the river back to the point of commencement. In plain terms: the Rouge River and the city limit form the ward's northern and eastern edge nearly end to end; Morningside Avenue and Neilson Road form most of its western edge; and only the stretch of lakeshore east of Morningside Avenue's southward line (roughly West Rouge/Port Union) is this ward's shoreline — the shoreline further west (Guildwood, West Hill's waterfront) belongs to the neighbouring ward.

Neighbourhoods. No formal City neighbourhood-to-ward crosswalk is on file project-wide (per the plan §3), so the following is this brief's own cross-reference of each neighbourhood's *own* stated boundary streets against the ward's legal boundary above, not a City-published mapping — flagged as inference, not asserted as precise:

• West Rouge — Wikipedia states it is bounded by Lake Ontario (south), the Rouge River/Rouge National Urban Park (east), Port Union Road (west) and Kingston Road (north) — squarely inside the ward's eastern/southern edge. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Rouge, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Port Union (also called Centennial Scarborough) — bounded by Kingston Road (north), Port Union Road (east), Lake Ontario (south) and Highland Creek (west) — also inside the ward's southeastern corner, immediately west of West Rouge. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Union,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Highland Creek — its own article states Morningside Avenue is its western boundary, matching this ward's own western boundary line for that stretch, placing the neighbourhood inside the ward. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Creek,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14]
• West Hill and Malvern are not asserted here as inside or outside this ward — see the gap noted in §8; West Hill's own article describes a western boundary (Scarborough Golf Club Road) well west of Morningside Avenue, and locates Guildwood GO Station "along the boundary of Guildwood and West Hill," which points toward the neighbouring ward rather than this one, but this brief does not have a strong enough basis to state that plainly as fact. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Hill,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14]
• The City's own construction-notice listing for this ward (§3 below) names Sewells Road work between Empringham Drive and Morningside Avenue as a Ward 25 item — Sewells Road runs into northeastern Malvern, so at least that corridor is confirmed (by the City's own ward attribution, not by this brief's inference) to fall inside the ward.

Civic texture — what’s live here

• Rouge National Urban Park's new visitor, learning and community centre. Following a $21-million contract award announced January 2025, construction officially began on the park's new visitor, learning and community centre in 2025, sited near the Toronto Zoo; the building is billed as an "iconic gateway" into the park with immersive Indigenous, natural, cultural and agricultural exhibits, and includes an Indigenous Participation Plan tied to the ten First Nations of the park's First Nations Advisory Circle.

• Rouge Beach Improvements Project. Parks Canada awarded a $9.47-million contract in fall 2025 to restore wetland and forest habitat, build a 2.3-km accessible trail linking the lakeshore to Mast Trail, add a new washroom at the upper beach parking area, and re-naturalize the lower parking lot; Rouge Beach and Marsh are closed for construction with reopening anticipated mid-2027. As of this park page's own note, the Zoo Road Day Use Area and Rouge Beach and Marsh remain closed to visitors.

• Pickering Lands transfer. In January 2025 the federal government announced its intent to transfer Transport Canada's Pickering Lands (high-conservation-value lands originally assembled for a never-built airport) to Parks Canada for inclusion in Rouge National Urban Park, following consultation with First Nations and the public; the lands sit north of Highway 407 in Durham, outside this ward, but the announcement and its 10th-anniversary framing were explicitly tied to the park that spans this ward. [Source: https://www.canada.ca/en/parks-canada/news/2025/01/government-of-canada-announces-intent-to-significantly-expand-rouge-national-urban-park.html, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Hemlock woolly adelgid detected. In 2025 Parks Canada confirmed this invasive, aphid-like insect (a threat to eastern hemlock stands) inside Rouge National Urban Park, and closed unauthorized trails in affected areas while monitoring the infestation's spread. [Source: https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/on/rouge/info/retrospective-review/2025, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Active City of Toronto capital works, per the ward's own City profile page. The City's Ward 25 page (dated "modified June 4, 2026") lists a substantial, multi-year slate of infrastructure work specific to this ward: local road resurfacing under the 2026 Capital Works Program (pre-construction notice dated March 2026); a power plant demolition, electrical equipment installation and site restoration at Beare Hill Park (notices May 2024–March 2025); culvert rehabilitation/replacement over several ward watercourses — Beechgrove Drive (over West Hill Watercourse), Lawson Road (over Centennial Creek), Lawrence Avenue East (over Adams Creek), and Plug Hat Road (over Little Rouge Creek); bridge rehabilitation on Lawrence Avenue (over Highland Creek); an emergency closure and reopening of Stott's Bridge on Twyn Rivers Drive over the Rouge River (July–November 2024); sanitary forcemain replacement on Greyabbey Trail, Island Road, and Lawrence Avenue East; watermain cleaning/relining on Morningside Avenue and Sewells Road; road reconstruction and green infrastructure on Orchard Park, West Hill Drive and Zaph Avenue (pre-construction notices dated March 2026); ditch regrading/road reconstruction on East Avenue and Island Road (May 2026); and stream rehabilitation on Morningside Creek south of the Casebridge outfall (May–June 2026). Separately, sediment removal and maintenance at the Mattamy Rouge Stormwater Management Pond (explicitly noted as "outside Rouge National Urban Park") recurred in both 2024 and 2025. [Source: https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/ward-profiles/ward-25-scarborough-rouge-park/, accessed 2026-08-14, page itself dated "modified June 4, 2026"]

Transit & development

• GO Transit — Lakeshore East line. Rouge Hill GO Station sits on the Lake Ontario shore in West Rouge, inside this ward; travelling east, it is the last Toronto station before the line crosses into Durham Region. It is a major commuter transfer point with large parking lots and is served locally by TTC route 38 (see below), plus GO Transit bus route 51 and Durham Region Transit route 103. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouge_Hill_GO_Station, accessed 2026-08-14] The Lakeshore East line crosses the Rouge River — this ward's own eastern boundary — on a heritage rail bridge built around 1905 (a listed provincial heritage property with stone masonry end piers and a steel deck truss); Metrolinx completed a life-extension rehabilitation of the bridge in late 2022 rather than replace it, owing to its heritage status. Separately, the Lakeshore East Rail Corridor Expansion project (part of GO Expansion/Regional Express Rail) is preparing the wider corridor for a fourth track and electrification, though the specific construction tasks listed for that project (bridge widenings, retaining walls, the East Harbour Transit Hub) are concentrated well west of this ward, between the Don River and Warden Avenue. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lakeshore_East_line, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Guildwood GO Station — a caution, not a claim. Some general Scarborough-area transit summaries mention Guildwood GO Station near this ward; per the boundary analysis in §2, Guildwood sits in the neighbourhood of the same name, which this brief does not confirm as inside Ward 25 (it reads as adjacent Ward 24 Scarborough–Guildwood territory) — flagged here so it is not mistakenly counted as this ward's own station. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Hill,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14]
• TTC bus service. Per the Highland Creek neighbourhood's own sourcing (a tertiary source, not independently cross-checked against TTC's own route maps — see §8): route 38 Highland Creek is named for and runs through the neighbourhood, operating seven days a week between Scarborough Centre station and Rouge Hill GO Station along Ellesmere Road, Military Trail, Lawson Road and Port Union Road; routes 12 Kingston Road, 54/954 Lawrence East, 85 Sheppard East, 86 Scarborough, 95/995 York Mills, 116 Morningside, 905 Eglinton East Express and 986 Scarborough Express also serve parts of the neighbourhood. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Creek,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14] [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rouge_Hill_GO_Station, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Eglinton East LRT — boundary-adjacent, not confirmed inside the ward. In May 2023 the City advanced a stand-alone light-rail line (reviving the earlier, Rob-Ford-cancelled Scarborough Malvern LRT under a new name) running from Kennedy Station via Eglinton Avenue, Kingston Road, Morningside Avenue and Sheppard Avenue toward Malvern. Morningside Avenue is this ward's own western boundary for part of its length, making the project directly boundary-adjacent; this brief does not assert the line itself runs inside the ward. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malvern,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Development. No 2026 private-development-application pipeline for this ward was pulled (the City's Application Information Centre was not queried — see §8); the confirmed, ward-attributed capital-works activity in §3 skews toward watercourse infrastructure (bridges/culverts on the Rouge's tributary creeks), sanitary/water main renewal, and road reconstruction rather than a single large private redevelopment site.

Local commons

• Highland Creek Branch, Toronto Public Library — 3550 Ellesmere Road, at Morrish Road, inside the Highland Creek neighbourhood (§2). Traces to a Mechanics' Institute library formed in 1889; became Highland Creek Public Library in 1895; joined the Scarborough Township public library board in 1955; moved to its present building in 1994 and won an Ontario Library Association award for it in 1996; became a Toronto Public Library branch with 1998 amalgamation. [Source: https://tpl.ca/locations/hc/, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Rouge National Urban Park — the ward's largest single commons feature. Free and open to the public 365 days a year (parking lots open 7:30 am–9 pm daily); spans roughly 79 km² across the Greater Toronto Area, with West Rouge's own Wikipedia entry noting the neighbourhood "is also home to a portion of the Rouge National Urban Park," including the mouth of the Rouge River. [Source: https://parks.canada.ca/pn-np/on/rouge, accessed 2026-08-14] [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Rouge, accessed 2026-08-14]
• Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre — serves the Highland Creek/University of Toronto Scarborough area; jointly owned by the City of Toronto and the University of Toronto Scarborough. [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highland_Creek,_Toronto, accessed 2026-08-14, citing https://www.toronto.ca/data/parks/prd/facilities/complex/2773/index.html]
• Light research pass only, as the template specifies — a fuller branch/CRC/park list needs the formal geospatial join named in the plan (§6), not this brief. A Malvern Branch library renovation is documented on Malvern's own Wikipedia page, but is not listed here as this ward's commons because Malvern's inclusion in this ward is itself unconfirmed (§2, §8).

Toronto Public Library branches and Parks, Forestry & Recreation community/recreation centres located inside this ward’s boundary, joined by geographic coordinates (see Receipts) — complete citywide datasets for both layers, every ward covered.

Public libraries (4)

• Highland Creek — 3550 Ellesmere Road, Toronto, On, M1C 3Z2
• Malvern — 30 Sewells Road, Toronto, On, M1B 3G5
• Morningside — 4279 Lawrence Avenue East, Toronto, On, M1E 2S8
• Port Union — 5450 Lawrence Avenue East, Toronto, On, M1C 3B2

Community & recreation centres (10)

• Charlottetown Junior Elementary School — 85 Charlottetown Blvd
• Heron Park Community Recreation Centre — 292 Manse Rd
• Malvern Recreation Centre — 30 Sewells Rd
• Meadowvale Public School — 761 Meadowvale Rd
• Port Union Community Recreation Centre — 5450 Lawrence Ave E
• Rouge Valley Community Recreation Centre — 8450 Sheppard Ave E
• Sir Oliver Mowat Collegiate Institute — 5400 Lawrence Ave E
• Tall Pines Community Centre — 64 Rylander Blvd
• Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre — 875 Morningside Ave
• West Rouge Community Centre — 270 Rouge Hills Dr

Parks aren’t listed here: parks joining is partial citywide — not shown rather than shown unevenly. The citywide parks join has fetched and joined 400 of the dataset’s 1,511 Park-type rows so far; that 400-row sample isn’t evenly distributed enough per ward to publish per-ward park lists or counts responsibly yet.

Local media landscape

• No ward-25-specific local news outlet was confirmed with a working source fetch. The Scarborough Mirror (an active outlet per its X/Twitter account) surfaced in search results with a description — non-profit, English-language, Scarborough-focused, Metroland-affiliated — but its own Wikipedia page returned empty content on two separate fetch attempts, so that description is not independently verified here and is not asserted as fact. [Source: https://x.com/SCMirror, accessed 2026-08-14 (existence/activity only)] [Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scarborough_Mirror — fetch attempted 2026-08-14, returned empty content, not usable as a citation]
• Stated plainly per the template: this brief did not find and confirm a citable, ward-specific community-news or BIA-newsletter outlet — see §8.

Networks & local commons

As of August 17, 2026, this project's public organization registry maps 88 organizations directly to Ward 25 (Scarborough-Rouge Park) — corrected the same day from the 1 this brief had stated since mid-August, when a registry-wide bug was found: the public ward pages had been reading only the single canonical `"Ward 25 (Scarborough-Rouge Park)"` tag spelling and silently missing every alternate format the registry's own geography join (`org_placements.csv`) already resolves (bare `"Ward 25"`, a bare riding name, and more). The 1 organization named below remain this ward's own individually-verified, hand-researched anchors — that research is untouched by this fix. The 87 more behind today's 88 total are principally bulk City/CRA register rows (early-years childcare, K-12 parent councils) captured registry-wide rather than ward-by-ward, carrying the weaker `seed-web-verified` status rather than a direct confirmation; 7 of the 88 total carry `verified-live` status:

• Centennial Community and Recreation Association (CCRA) — a residents'/community association. http://www.ccranews.com/

This is a starting point, not a finished map. This brief's Local Commons section above already names Ward 25's civic-infrastructure anchors; those are the next nodes the sweep will connect this organization to as it goes deeper, and city-wide organization mapping is underway ward by ward to reach the rest of this ward's faith communities, resident and tenant associations, cultural groups, service organizations, and the dozens of other categories this project tracks.

If you lead, work with, or simply know of an organization rooted in this ward, this project's tribes directory at https://unitetolove.ca/tribes/directory.html is where to add it or correct what's already there — every addition is checked against a public source before it's published.

The ward in numbers (2021 Census)

What else is on your ballot

Every Toronto voter marks three races on October 26, 2026: this ward’s councillor (above), the citywide mayor, and one school trustee.

• Mayor (citywide — the same race for every ward) — 42 candidates registered as of 2026-08-14, identical treatment: the mayoral race card.
• School trustee — one seat, for whichever of Toronto’s four school boards matches your school-support designation. Trustee-district boundaries do not in general line up with the 25 council wards; here is what this project has established for THIS ward, tiered by how confidently each is sourced:
  • Conseil scolaire Viamonde (French public) — Toronto-Est (Secteur 2, Annexe NORD-EST) (race card) — confirmed exact from the board’s own official regulatory determination document (Détermination et répartition des conseillers scolaires, Conseil scolaire Viamonde, March 2026, Annexe C).
  • TCDSB — narrowed to one of two TCDSB wards (TCDSB Ward 8 or TCDSB Ward 12), not resolved further by any source found — not presented as settled; see this ward’s precision note below.
  • CSC MonAvenir (French Catholic) — this ward falls in one of MonAvenir’s two Toronto régions (Toronto-Est or Toronto-Ouest); the board has not published a ward-level boundary document, so which région applies here is not resolved — a region-level statement, not a guess at which one.
  • TDSB — not established for this ward: no reliable source pairs it to a specific TDSB ward (a named gap, not a guess).
  39 TDSB and 21 TCDSB trustee candidates are registered citywide as of 2026-08-14. Whatever the tiers above show, MyVote is the authoritative resolver for your own address — check it before you vote: MyVote.

This ward’s trustee-crosswalk precision note: TDSB: NOT ESTABLISHED. TCDSB: see ward 20 note - UNRESOLVED. Viamonde exact. MonAvenir not disambiguated.

Get involved — from thirty seconds to a year

Everything on this page is published so that anyone who lives here can use it: there is no membership, no gate and nothing to belong to. If you want to do something with it, the doors below start at thirty seconds and stop wherever you like — every one of them is optional, every one of them is free to copy or fork, and none of them asks who you vote for.

• The ladder — what you can do today: thirty seconds, an hour, an evening, a week, a season, a year. Every rung a real door, every rung optional.
• The Harvest — add three lines to one public record: a vision for 2030, a complaint about what is broken, or a neighbour worth naming.
• Add your name to the count — a name and a way to reach you is the whole first ask; everything after that is optional.
• The mobilization framework — for anyone who already leads a room and wants that room, and every room like it, to act together. Free, forkable, evidence-based, nothing to join.
• The plan — one year, all-out — what this city could do in a single year, month by month, with every number labelled as a target rather than a promise.
• The conversation kits — free, open kits for running your own conversation about Toronto’s future, at a kitchen table or in a hall.
• Mutual aid — how neighbours already help each other across Toronto, what a block circle is, and how to start one where you live.
• The letters — written to the people this city keeps writing about instead of to. Read one; pass it to someone it is about.

This is a neighbours’ project rather than a campaign or an organization: it publishes tools, data and evidence, and leaves every decision to the person reading. Nothing here endorses a candidate or a party, and nothing here needs our permission to be used.

What this page doesn’t cover yet

This ward’s research brief names these additional gaps, plainly, rather than guessing over them:

• CBC News article on West Rouge-area GO station auto thefts (URL surfaced via search: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/west-rouge-auto-thefts-go-stations-9.7158327) — web_fetch returned empty content on three separate attempts across the pass, while every other site fetched normally in the same session (no general outage). Per the template's instruction to note a gap honestly rather than work around it with another tool, this article's content is not used anywhere in this brief.
• Neighbourhood-to-ward crosswalk — not on file project-wide (plan §3). §2's neighbourhood list is this brief's own inference from each neighbourhood's stated boundary streets against the ward's legal boundary, not a City crosswalk; West Hill and Malvern are deliberately *not* asserted as inside or outside this ward (see §2, §4) beyond the one City-attributed exception (Sewells Road corridor, §2).
• TTC route list (§4) is sourced from the Highland Creek neighbourhood's own Wikipedia article, a tertiary source — not independently cross-checked against TTC's own route-by-route maps or schedules.
• Toronto Public Library branch list — only Highland Creek Branch was independently confirmed inside the ward; a full branch/CRC/park inventory needs the plan's own geospatial join (§6), not attempted here.
• Scarborough Mirror's current operating description could not be verified — its Wikipedia page returned empty content on two fetch attempts; only the outlet's active social-media presence was confirmed.
• No 2026 development-application pipeline was pulled from the City's Application Information Centre for this ward — consistent with the W19 pilot's own scope decision, not attempted here.
• Community council assignment for this ward was not sourced and is not stated in this brief, rather than asserted from memory.

• A full address-to-trustee-district crosswalk is not complete for every board (school board trustee races do not share the 25-ward boundary map): for this ward, TDSB carries not established and TCDSB is narrowed to one of two TCDSB wards, not resolved further; CSC MonAvenir is resolved only to a region (Toronto-Est or Toronto-Ouest), never a ward, for every ward citywide. Conseil scolaire Viamonde is the one board fully resolved, exact, for every ward. See the tiered breakdown and this ward’s precision note in “What else is on your ballot” above.
• Libraries and community/recreation centres are now geospatially joined to this ward’s boundary (see “What’s live here, by the numbers” under Local commons above — complete citywide datasets for both layers). Parks joining is partial citywide; not shown rather than shown unevenly (400 of 1,511 City-classified park-type rows fetched and joined so far).

Receipts — where every figure on this page comes from

• Council race and 2022 baseline: this project’s Toronto elections registry (race ON-toronto-council-w25), as_of 2026-08-16.

• Candidate bios: synthesized only from each candidate’s own published campaign material (their website, their own social accounts, their own platform document) and registry facts already on file — never from news coverage, opposition material, or inference beyond what the candidate has themself published. A candidate with no captured public material is stated plainly, never guessed over. As of 2026-08-14.
• 2021 Census figures: City of Toronto Ward Profiles (25-Ward Model), Statistics Canada 2021 Census custom tabulations, prepared by Strategic Initiatives, Policy & Analysis, City Planning Division, City of Toronto, December 2023 (`2023-wardprofiles-2011-2021-censusdata_rev0719.xlsx`, sheet "2021 One Variable").

Per-candidate research notes, QA flags, and source-capture logs are kept in this project’s internal working files, not published here; every bio and every fact on this page is drawn from that work but the page itself states the fact, not the working notes behind it.

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.
