About Eric Smith
The City’s list of certified candidates shows Eric Smith’s nomination for Councillor in Ward 12 Rideau-Vanier dated August 17, 2026, and shows no registration in the Contribution Rebate Program. It lists no website and no social media account for him. CBC News reported on August 25, 2026 that he was one of four people who signed up to run just days before the deadline, and gives no description of him.
CTV News Ottawa lists him among the six candidates and notes that no email address was available for him, so it has no answers from him. Searches for his name found many people called Eric Smith, and none could be tied to this candidacy, so no other information is given here. voche.me found no statement from him.
