About Elina Feyginberg

Elina Feyginberg appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Toronto District School Board in Ward 5. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as July 3, 2026 and a campaign website, elina4trustee.ca. The City’s list of withdrawn candidates also holds an entry for Elina Feyginberg for Toronto District School Board Ward 7, dated July 3, 2026, the same day as this nomination.

Her campaign website says she has spent more than 12 years in community and public safety, working with young people and families, that she is now a business leader with a background in corporate leadership, accountability and organizational management, that she is a TDSB arts and gifted graduate and that she holds an MBA in community economic development. In her Know Your Vote T.O. answers, where candidates write their own words, she describes over 12 years as a public safety officer and over 12 years in government policy. voche.me did not check these statements with any employer or school.

Her website says she would champion community safety officers in schools, press to close gaps between schools, push for clear conduct standards and faster responses to harassment, and scrutinize spending and report back to parents.

TDSB wards changed for 2026. Ward 5 covers City wards 10 (Spadina-Fort York) and 14 (Toronto-Danforth). The City Clerk’s declaration of results for October 24, 2022 shows Alexis Dawson elected in the old Ward 9 and Sara Ehrhardt elected in the old Ward 15, and the TDSB’s trustee list for 2018 to 2022 names the old Ward 9 as Davenport and Spadina-Fort York and the old Ward 15 as Toronto-Danforth. Those results belong to the old wards and are not treated as results for the new Ward 5. 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.

What voche.me has checked

Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates and its list of withdrawn candidates, two pages of her campaign website (home and About), her Know Your Vote T.O. page, the TDSB’s trustee wards page, the City Clerk’s 2022 declaration of results and the TDSB’s 2018 to 2022 trustee list. Everything about her background comes from her own website and her own answers, and each is attributed in the text.

Searches for her name also returned a 2021 podcast listing with a guest of the same name, and professional profile pages. No page the candidate or the City published ties that guest or those profiles to this candidate, so nothing from them is used.

Gaps. Her Instagram account, elina4trustee, is listed on her Know Your Vote T.O. page. It opened as a login page showing only the account title, so nothing from it is used. An X account in the search results answered with a payment-required error and is not used. No public role is on record in the profile, so no board minutes were searched. No news report quoting her was found. The questionnaire has not been sent.

Experience & community

12 years, by her campaign’s account
