Daniel Tetrault was re-elected to Burnaby City Council on October 17, 2026. The City of Burnaby's count gives him 15,288 votes, the fifth-highest total of the 42 council candidates, and the City's chief election officer declared him elected on October 21, 2026. He ran with the Burnaby Citizens Association. Freshet News reported that he kept his seat for a second term.
Burnaby Now reported in December 2021 that he was seeking the BCA's nomination for council. It reported that he had been elected president of the Burnaby Teachers' Association in early 2020 after eight years on its executive, that he taught social studies at Moscrop Secondary before that, and that he sat on the Mayor's Task Force on Community Housing. The City's 2022 results give him 10,893 votes, and Burnaby Now reported that he won one of the two seats left open by retiring councillors.
CBC News reported in June 2023 that council passed his motion asking staff to prepare policies and bylaw changes to bring small craft beverage businesses to Burnaby, a brewers' row. Daily Hive reported in November 2024 that council endorsed his amendment to TransLink's plan for bus-only lanes on Hastings Street: the lanes would run between Delta Avenue and Duthie Avenue and leave out the stretch through the Burnaby Heights shops.
The City's councillor page lists him as chair of the Parks, Recreation and Culture Committee and the Community Heritage Commission, vice-chair of the Transportation Committee, and a member of the Access Advisory, Environment and Planning and Development committees.
In the statement he gave the City, he wrote that in his first term he worked to reduce waitlists for swimming lessons, build more sidewalks for accessibility and speed up affordable housing, and that he was running again to continue this work so that Burnaby neighbourhoods work for everyone. His promise tracker holds the BCA platform's city commitments.

Researched on 2026-10-29 through the seven search steps listed below: the City's candidate profile, results and declaration, the City's councillor page and its 2022 results, the BCA's page about him and its platform, his VoteMate page, and reporting by Freshet News, Daily Hive, Burnaby Now and CBC News.
His account of his first-term work on swimming lessons, sidewalks and housing is his own and has not been checked against council minutes. His Instagram account and Facebook page showed only a login page or a page header to scripts, so no post was read. No candidate questionnaire with his answers was found, and no news report of a statement from him after the 2026 vote was found.
