Sources & how this tracker works

The directory covers all 361 active candidates in the City’s saved 2026 feeds. Names are shown alphabetically by surname. Campaign website links are those supplied to the City. They can lead to a personal or social profile.

Policy coverage starts with the mayoral race: 19 candidates currently have summaries. Council and school trustee profiles remain available in the directory, with policy reviews marked as pending. Missing summaries are gaps in our coverage, not evidence that a candidate has no platform.

Candidate portraits appear only when we found a candidate-specific image in the Build Canada candidate directory . The image source is linked on each profile. Portrait availability is not an endorsement.

Each summary identifies its source and review date. “Campaign proposal” describes a proposed action; “Stated priority” describes a broader goal. Neither establishes that an action is funded, approved or within the mayor’s sole authority. We do not rank, endorse or score candidates, and do not infer policies from party affiliation or past votes.

The candidate list and policy summaries are dated snapshots, not a live results feed. Candidate data was checked Sep 13, 2026. Policy dates appear separately. Things Toronto is an independent publication, not Toronto Elections.
