About Dameon Halstead
Dameon Halstead appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Toronto 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 June 9, 2026 and a campaign website, dameonhalstead.ca. Ward 11 covers City wards 21 and 23, Scarborough Centre and Scarborough North.
His campaign website says he has been active in the Scarborough and Ajax communities, providing educational opportunities for young people, volunteering at athletic events and working with non-profit organizations. It describes a plan called Moving Scarborough Schools Forward that covers school buildings, transparency for parents, accountability and the use of funds. Those are his own statements and voche.me has not checked them.
In 2022 a Dameon Halstead was a candidate for Durham District School Board trustee (public) in Ajax. The AjaxPickering.ca election directory page for that candidacy links dameonhalstead.ca, the same address he gave the City in 2026, and its platform text matches the wording of his 2026 site. voche.me could not open the Town of Ajax’s results page (it answered with an error), so it gives no vote count. The Caribbean Camera wrote on October 7, 2022, under the spelling Damien Halstead, that he had run for a council position in the Scarborough area at the previous election.

What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, two pages of his campaign website (Home and Meet Dameon), his Know Your Vote T.O. page, the AjaxPickering.ca 2022 directory page, The Caribbean Camera’s article of October 7, 2022, the City Clerk’s 2018 and 2022 declarations of results, the TDSB’s trustee wards page, the TDSB’s 2018 to 2022 trustee list and The Local’s article of August 24, 2026 on trustee candidates. His priorities and community history come from his campaign website and are written as his own account.
TDSB wards changed for 2026. Ward 11 covers City wards 21 and 23, which the City’s list names Scarborough Centre and Scarborough North. The TDSB’s 2018 to 2022 trustee list names the old Ward 17 as Scarborough Centre and the old Ward 21 as Scarborough North, and the City Clerk’s 2022 results show Neethan Shan elected in the old Ward 17 and Yalini Rajakulasingam elected in the old Ward 21. The old Ward 11 was Don Valley West, a different area from the new Ward 11 in Scarborough. The TDSB’s trustee wards page says that during provincial supervision the powers of trustees rest with the provincially appointed Supervisor, that trustees have no official duties with the board at this time, and that this also applies to trustees elected in October 2026. voche.me found no TDSB page that names a current trustee for the Scarborough Centre or Scarborough North area, so it names none. The City Clerk’s 2022 results for the TDSB list no entry under this candidate’s name.
A same-name entry exists in the City Clerk’s 2018 results for a Scarborough council race. The Caribbean Camera says he ran for a council position in the Scarborough area at the previous election, and no source opened names the ward or links that entry to him, so voche.me attaches no 2018 result to this record. The 2022 Ajax candidacy is tied to him by the directory page’s link to his website address, and no vote count is given.
Gaps. His Instagram page showed a profile header only, and his Facebook page showed his name only, so nothing from social accounts is used. His Know Your Vote T.O. page lists his website and marks all four questions “Awaiting submission”. No elected office is on record for him, so no minutes were searched. The questionnaire has not been sent.
