Anton Perera appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Toronto Catholic District School Board in Ward 11. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 26, 2026. Ward 11 covers City wards 14 (Toronto-Danforth), 15 (Don Valley West), 16 (Don Valley East), 17 (Don Valley North) and 19 (Beaches-East York).
The City Clerk’s 2022 results list Angela Kennedy as elected in Ward 11, and Wikipedia’s page on the 2026 election lists her as a candidate for re-election.
In his Know Your Vote T.O. answers, which he wrote himself, he says he would run workshops for teachers and staff with a professional counsellor on bullying and discrimination, and survey students from time to time. On staffing he says he would work with trustees from other wards on a shared plan and press the provincial education minister for more funding, and he would review the director of education from time to time. He says he would also work with the board’s special education advisory committee.
His X account (@RuckyKars), linked from his Know Your Vote T.O. page, describes him in his own words as “the voice of those who don’t have a voice in society”. The posts voche.me could read carry no campaign statement. The City Clerk’s 2022 results list a Ward 11 candidate with the same name. voche.me found no source that ties that entry to this candidate, so it states no 2022 result. voche.me read no board minutes, so it cites no vote.

Know Your Vote T.O. · Anton Perera, TCDSB Ward 11Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, his Know Your Vote T.O. page, his X account, the City Clerk’s 2022 declaration of results, The Local’s article of August 24, 2026 on trustee candidates and Wikipedia’s page on the 2026 election. Name, office, ward and nomination date are as the City prints them. Know Your Vote T.O. is a Toronto Public Library project in which candidates write their own answers. The library checks them against its content standards and does not check whether they are true.
A result belongs to a candidate only when a named source ties that entry to this person, and a matching name alone is not enough. The City Clerk’s 2022 declaration lists a Ward 11 candidate with the same name, and no source ties it to this candidate, so it is not used. The TCDSB’s trustee pages loaded only a browser check, so no board record was read and no recorded vote is cited. The sitting trustees come from the City Clerk’s 2022 results, The Local and Wikipedia. The Local reports that the province took over the TCDSB in June 2025 and that, while the board is under provincial supervision, the job of Catholic board trustees is limited to denominational matters.
