About Bill Chan

Bill Chan appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as July 15, 2026 and gives no campaign website. The Local’s tracker links billchan.ca. The site carries his name and the Ward 22 campaign, and voche.me treats it as the campaign’s own statement.

His campaign website says he began his career with the Toronto Police Service in 2000 and served nearly 15 years in frontline policing, and that he was a Chinese Community Liaison Officer for more than a decade. It says that after retiring from the service he was Executive Director of the Toronto Chinese Community Service Association, now the Cross-Cultural Community Services Association, and that in 2018 he founded the ForPeople Community Support Association, where he is President and Executive Director. The Local repeats this from his website. voche.me read no Toronto Police Service record or organization record of these roles, so each is the campaign’s account.

His site lists six priorities under the word CHANGE: communication, housing, accessibility, neighbourhood, growth and environment. Its text gives detail for communication only: it says residents should be able to reach their councillor and get a response, and that a councillor should stay connected with residents throughout the term.

His Endorsements page presents statements supplied to the campaign from Nancy M. Siew, Lenny Wong, Po Kwan Yeung, Dave McCormack and David Lowe, each described on the page by a title or organization. The Local names Mr. Lowe and Mr. McCormack as endorsers. Those are the campaign’s own claims of support. voche.me did not contact the endorsers.

TTCriders’ Ward 22 page records no response from him to its 18 transit questions.

What voche.me has checked

Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, three pages of his campaign website (home, About and Endorsements), The Local’s Ward 22 tracker, TTCriders’ Ward 22 page and The Green Line’s list of events for council candidates. Every statement taken from his campaign website is written as the campaign’s own account.

Ward context. The City's Members of Council page for Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt lists Councillor Nick Mantas. The City's list of certified candidates shows 10 candidates for the ward: Madhuri Azad, Bill Chan, Jackson Ho, Serge Khatchadourian, Rakhee Kotecha, Aaron Lal, Dan Lovell, Nick Mantas, Donny Morgan and Sindia Vijayarajan. The City Clerk's 2022 results for the ward list 6 candidates: Nick Mantas (8,228 votes, elected), Bill Wu (3,153), Antonios Mantas (1,841), Roland Lin (1,549), Serge Khatchadourian (1,383) and Anthony Internicola (677). Of the 10 candidates for 2026, only Nick Mantas and Serge Khatchadourian appear by name in those results. Build Canada's Ward 22 page records questionnaire answers from 2 of the 10 candidates, Madhuri Azad and Dan Lovell. TTCriders' Ward 22 page records answers to its 18 transit questions from 5 of the 10: Nick Mantas, Jackson Ho, Serge Khatchadourian, Dan Lovell and Donny Morgan. The Green Line, in an article dated September 24, 2026, lists a Ward 22 candidate debate on Thursday, October 8, 2026, from 7 to 9 p.m. at Agincourt Mall, Room 525. The listing names no attendees, so voche.me states none. The City's decisions site (secure.toronto.ca) returned HTTP 403 when voche.me requested it, so no recorded vote or Council decision is cited from it.

Gaps. The City’s list gives no website for him, and his site links no social media account that voche.me could find. His police service and organization roles rest on his own site and The Local’s repetition of it. Searches for his name and his organization returned an organization directory entry and no news report that voche.me could tie to him. He holds no City office, so no minutes search applies. He has not answered Build Canada’s questionnaire. The questionnaire has not been sent.
