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. Read the sources 02 / The issues ## Priorities & positions Campaign-source summary Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform. 01 ### Strong classrooms (campaign website) The campaign website lists strong classrooms as its first priority: safe, welcoming classrooms where every student can reach their potential. [Danny Arrais · campaign website, home page ](https://www.dannyarrais.ca/) 02 ### Supporting students (campaign website) The campaign website lists better access to special education support and to educational assistants as its second priority. [Danny Arrais · campaign website, home page ](https://www.dannyarrais.ca/) 03 ### Safe and healthy schools (campaign website) The campaign website lists student well-being and technology that fits students’ ages and digital privacy as its third priority. [Danny Arrais · campaign website, home page ](https://www.dannyarrais.ca/) Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on October 7, 2026: the City’s open data file of nominations and its 2022 official results for the Zone 9 and Zone 7 races, an Internet Archive copy of the City’s list of nominated candidates for this board (last updated June 29, 2026, before his nomination, so it does not list him), the board’s trustee page, the CTV News Ottawa guide of September 9, 2026, and the home page of the campaign website dannyarrais.ca. Gaps. The City’s page for the Ottawa Catholic School Board could not be read: ottawa.ca returns an empty page to automated requests, and the Internet Archive holds no copy of the certified list. The only archived copy is the City’s list of nominated candidates last updated June 29, 2026. The website is a single page, and its statements are the campaign’s own and were not checked. No social media account or news article quoting him was found. The 2022 facts are about a candidate of the same name in a different zone, and no source reads that they are one person. An empty section records only that nothing was found, and he may well have statements that voche.me has not seen. The voche.me questionnaire has not been sent. 03 / Background ## Experience & community Not dated on the site ### Tradesperson and local builder (campaign website) The campaign website describes him as a tradesperson and a local builder, and says his experience in the trades taught him to listen, solve problems, work with others and be accountable. voche.me has not checked this description.
