Conseil scolaire Viamonde in Ward 3 Centre · Toronto 2026
Anna-Karyna Ruszkowski
Sitting Conseil scolaire Viamonde trustee for Toronto (Centre), elected in a by-election in January 2023 and seeking election in Ward 3 Centre.
Anna-Karyna Ruszkowski is on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Conseil scolaire Viamonde in Ward 3 Centre, with a nomination filed on May 5, 2026. The City Clerk’s results for the by-election of January 23, 2023 list her first of 7 candidates with 421 votes, and the board’s members page lists her as a member of the board for Toronto (Centre). Her campaign website, which the City’s list does not show, says she is seeking a second term and names priorities that include an after-school program across the board and another French secondary school in Toronto-Centre.
Anna-Karyna Ruszkowski appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Conseil scolaire Viamonde in Ward 3 Centre. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 5, 2026 and no campaign website. Ward 3 Centre covers City wards 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 19.
A by-election is a vote held to fill a vacant seat between regular elections. The City Clerk’s 2022 declaration lists Viamonde Ward 3 as void and prints no candidate names for it, and a by-election on January 23, 2023 filled the seat. The City Clerk’s declaration, dated January 25, 2023, lists Anna-Karyna Ruszkowski first of 7 candidates with 421 votes, marked elected. L’Express reported the result on January 24, 2023 and described her as an actuary and chief risk officer of a financial institution who had served on the board of a child care centre and had been active in the campaign for funding of a new secondary school in the Danforth and Greenwood area. The board’s Membres du Conseil page, read on October 4, 2026, lists her as Membre du Conseil for the Toronto (Centre) region and gives no start date.
Her campaign website, found in a name search, says she is seeking re-election on October 26, 2026 for a second term. It names these projects as reasons for a second term: an after-school program across the board, another French secondary school in Toronto-Centre, the Collège français, the school yards at the Gabrielle-Roy and La Mosaïque elementary schools, the school yard at the Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau elementary school and student cell phone use. Those are the campaign’s own statements. voche.me read no board minutes, so it cites no recorded vote.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
01
After-school program across the board
Her site says she is concerned that French-speaking students leave for English schools between grade 8 and grade 9. It says she wants to continue her effort to set up an after-school program across the whole board to help keep students in Viamonde schools.
Her site says there is a growing demand for French schools in the ward and an urgent need for one more secondary school in east Toronto, and that she is already working to identify possible sites for another French high school in Toronto-Centre.
Her site calls the Collège français an important priority for her and for the board and says the board finished a renovation of the school’s gym this summer. Those are the campaign’s own statements.
Her site says that since the start of her first term she has supported the school councils of the Gabrielle-Roy and La Mosaïque elementary schools in looking for ways to improve their school yards. It also says she has talked with the City of Toronto for a year about dogs using the school yard of the Pierre-Elliott-Trudeau elementary school.
Her site says she will gather comments from school communities, study the effects of the Ministry of Education’s latest cell phone policy and ask for a review based on data.
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, the City Clerk’s declaration of results for the by-election of January 23, 2023, the City Clerk’s 2022 declaration, the board’s Membres du Conseil page, L’Express of January 24, 2023, four pages of her campaign website and her Know Your Vote T.O. page. Name, office, ward and nomination date are as the City prints them. Her campaign website is the campaign’s own statement, so each claim taken from it is attributed in the sentence that carries it.
Her campaign website, votezannakaryna.ca, is not on the City’s list. voche.me found it in a name search. It calls her trustee for Toronto-Centre at the Viamonde school board and asks voters to re-elect her on October 26, 2026, which matches the board’s page, so voche.me treats it as hers. Its “Qui je suis” page says she presented herself for the Toronto-Centre seat in 2022. The City Clerk’s 2022 declaration prints no candidate names for that race, so no 2022 result is cited and the by-election result is the only vote cited. Her Instagram profile showed a short bio and no readable captions, and her Facebook page showed only a page title, so nothing from either is used. Her Know Your Vote T.O. page lists no website and shows all four of its questions as “Awaiting submission”.
Gaps. No board minutes were opened, so no recorded vote, committee role or chair role from minutes is cited, and the committees her site lists are her own statement. The questionnaire has not been sent.
By-election of January 23, 2023, as listed by the City Clerk
