Frances Nunziata appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 5 York South-Weston. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as July 17, 2026 and the campaign website votenunziata2026.ca.
The City’s Members of Council page lists Councillor Frances Nunziata for York South-Weston, and her City profile page names her Council Speaker. The profile says she has represented the area since 1997, was Mayor of York from 1994 to 1997 and a City of York Councillor from 1988 to 1994, and was first elected a school board trustee in 1985. It says Council has elected her Speaker since December 1, 2010. The profile ends with the line “Information provided by Councillor”, so these dates are her own account, published on the City’s page. The page shows the date modified as July 31, 2026. It lists her committees and boards as the Audit Committee, the Planning and Housing Committee (Vice Chair), the Etobicoke York Community Council, the CreateTO Board of Directors, the Toronto Parking Authority and the George Bell Arena Board of Management.
The City Clerk’s declaration of results for the October 24, 2022 general election lists Frances Nunziata first among 3 candidates for Councillor in Ward 5 York South-Weston, with 10,077 votes, marked elected. Chiara Padovani was second with 9,983 and Gabriel Takang third with 1,107. The 3 declared totals add up to 21,167 votes, so her share was 47.6 percent and Padovani’s was 47.2 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures. The Clerk’s 2018 declaration lists her first in the same ward with 8,425 votes of 24,518 across 5 candidates, a share of 34.4 percent calculated by voche.me.
On July 17, 2024 the City’s Integrity Commissioner, Jonathan Batty, reported to City Council on a complaint a member of the public made on October 26, 2022. The complaint said her office’s constituent contact information was used for election purposes in the 2022 campaign without the constituent’s consent. The Integrity Commissioner found that her conduct violated Article 5 (Confidential Information) and Article 7 (Election Campaign Work) of the Code of Conduct, and recommended that Council reprimand her. The attached report says a spreadsheet created by her Chief of Staff held 35,210 rows of data, with an estimated 8,000 email contacts. It says she accepted the findings and recommendations, took full responsibility for her actions and those of her staff, and committed to protecting the confidentiality of constituent contact information.
The Integrity Commissioner’s page lists a City Council decision on this report dated July 24 and 25, 2024. voche.me could not open that decision, because the City’s decisions site refused the request, so this record does not say what Council decided.
Her campaign website lists, in its own words, 1,400+ new homes and 600 affordable units, over $323 million secured for the Rockcliffe Flood Mitigation Project from the federal government and the City, a recurring $7,500 flooding compensation for eligible Rockcliffe homeowners, and a request for federal and provincial bail reform that she moved. It says she will not defund the police. It also lists Council votes by item number. These are the campaign’s statements. voche.me did not open the City’s decisions record for those votes, so none is stated here as a fact.
