01 / Introduction
## About Robert Rainboth
The City of Ottawa’s list of certified candidates for the CECCE, last updated September 9, 2026, shows Robert Rainboth in Zone 7 (Ward 2) with a nomination filed on May 4, 2026. The City’s open data file shows no withdrawal. The other nomination in the zone is Edouard Marava, filed on May 13, 2026. The City list gives Rainboth no website or social media account.
The board’s Table politique page lists him as the trustee for sector 7, named as Orléans-Ouest et Innes, and names six schools that the sector serves: Collège catholique Mer Bleue, École élémentaire catholique des Voyageurs, École élémentaire catholique l’Étoile-de-l’Est, École élémentaire catholique Saint-Joseph d’Orléans, École élémentaire catholique Sainte-Marie and École secondaire catholique Garneau. The board’s notice for its public meeting of September 8, 2026 names him among the trustees called to the meeting.
Radio-Canada reported on August 19, 2022 that eight school board candidates were elected without opposition, and it named Robert Rainboth among them. The City’s 2022 results sheet for CECCE Zone 7 holds no votes and carries the line “Acclaimed”, which means nobody ran against the candidate.
A board news release of September 19, 2024 on the opening of a sports dome at École secondaire catholique Garneau quotes him as the trustee for the sector Orléans-Ouest-Innes. In it he says the board is proud to offer this long-awaited facility to the community and that it will let students flourish in their studies and in sport. ONFR reported on March 29, 2023 on a parents’ information session at École élémentaire catholique l’Étoile-de-l’Est, a school in his sector, about a pilot of a four-day school week. A photo caption in that report names Robert Rainboth, with the board’s superintendent Nya Njeuga and the school principal Mona Leblanc, as the people who presented the session. The article quotes no words of his. It reports that parents asked questions that the principal and the superintendent could not answer, among them how children who stay on a five-day week would be treated.
voche.me found no recorded vote by him. The board’s page of public meetings shows the notice and agenda of its next meetings and no minutes of past meetings. voche.me found no 2026 campaign statement from him and no complaint or allegation about him in the sources read.

Research status
## What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 7, 2026: the City’s list of certified candidates for the CECCE (an Internet Archive copy of the page last updated September 9, 2026), the City’s open data file of nominations, the City’s 2022 official results for CECCE Zone 7, the board’s Table politique page and its page of public meetings with the notice of September 8, 2026, the board’s news release of September 19, 2024, the Radio-Canada article of August 19, 2022, the ONFR article of March 29, 2023, and the VoteMate listing, which holds no profile text. CTV News Ottawa’s guide to school board candidates, published September 9, 2026 and updated October 5, 2026, was also read; it lists the candidate by name under the CECCE and quotes nothing.
Gaps. The City list gives him no website or social media account. The general web search tool refused because the session’s search allowance was used up. A campaign page or a post that only a general search would find may exist. The board’s page of public meetings shows the notice and agenda of its next meetings and no minutes of past meetings. His votes are unknown. The board’s news release is the board’s own account, and the quotation in it is the only statement of his that voche.me read. The voche.me questionnaire has not been sent.
