Danny Arrais

The City of Ottawa’s open data file shows Danny Arrais’s nomination for trustee of the Ottawa Catholic School Board in Zone 9 dated July 22, 2026, with no withdrawal. The other nomination in the zone is Luka Luketic-Buyers, dated June 5, 2026. CTV News Ottawa’s guide of September 9, 2026 lists both and marks neither as acclaimed. The City’s page for this board could not be read, so voche.me relies on the open data file. The archived copy of the City’s list of nominated candidates (last updated June 29, 2026) was taken before his nomination and does not list him.

A campaign website at dannyarrais.ca names him as a candidate for Ottawa Catholic School Board trustee in Zone 9. The site says he is a tradesperson and a local builder, and that he is running because he believes children deserve safe, welcoming schools where every student has the opportunity to learn, grow and reach their full potential. It gives the slogan “Working Together for Our Catholic Schools” and says he would bring practical experience, a strong work ethic and a commitment to listening to parents, teachers and the community. These are the campaign’s statements about itself. voche.me could not read the City’s page that would show whether this is the website he gave the City.

The City’s official results for the October 24, 2022 election list a candidate named Danny Arrais in the Zone 7 race, where he finished second with 869 of the 2,724 votes, which is 31.9 percent, behind Jeremy Wittet with 1,855. No source read states that the 2026 candidate in Zone 9 is the same person as the 2022 candidate in Zone 7, so those 2022 facts are about a candidate of the same name. The City’s results for the 2022 Zone 9 race do not list him.

The board’s trustee page does not list him among its ten trustees, and he holds no public office on the record voche.me read. The sources read hold no complaint or allegation about him.
