Hard Parmar appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 1 Etobicoke North. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 20, 2026 and no campaign website.
voche.me found the website hardparmar.com through a name search. The page names him as a candidate for Councillor in Ward 1, and The Local links to it as his website. It says he grew up in the ward and still lives there, holds a Bachelor of Engineering in civil engineering from the Lassonde School of Engineering at York University dated 2026, was a construction inspector for the Region of Peel in 2023 and 2024, worked on safety standards at Metrolinx in 2022, and has been a customer service supervisor at a gas station at Racine Road and Martin Grove since 2018. These are the campaign's own statements, and voche.me has not checked them with the university or the employers.
The Local, citing his LinkedIn profile, describes him as a customer service supervisor at Esso with internships at the Region of Peel and Metrolinx and a civil engineering background. His website names the gas station as Racine Mart, calls the Region of Peel job a construction inspector post, and lists the Metrolinx work as safety standards work. voche.me has not resolved the differences between the two descriptions.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
His website says a street should be opened once, with water, sewer, sidewalk and lighting work done in the same closure. It also promises a published Ward 1 construction calendar and a 30-day standard for potholes, streetlights and sidewalks, with the results published.
It adds a basement-flooding audit of streets that flood in serious storms, and parks held to the same standard.
His website promises an audit of Ward 1 bus routes against the Finch West light rail line, a shelter, light and bench at busy stops, safe crossings on Albion, Kipling, Martin Grove and Dixon, a published resurfacing schedule, and a public opening date requested from Metrolinx for the Woodbine GO station.
Hard Parmar campaign websiteHis website calls for a binding community benefits agreement (a contract that ties a development to local hiring and spending) before the Woodbine racetrack lands are rezoned (that is, approved for new kinds of building), with local hiring and apprenticeship targets, an annual jobs and skills expo, and parks, a school, a community centre and a library committed in writing before towers are approved.
Hard Parmar campaign websiteHis website says he would publish the City's Ward 1 spending on building and repair projects line by line, require service improvement and cost control before supporting a tax increase, speed up permits for homes and small businesses, and set a published service standard for 311.
Hard Parmar campaign websiteHis website lists a working relationship with Etobicoke General Hospital, Toronto Public Health and Toronto Paramedic Services, seniors' needs in street design, and support for non-police crisis teams in the ward.
Hard Parmar campaign websiteHis website promises weekly office hours across the ward neighbourhoods, answers to every message within 48 hours, free interpretation on request, and a public scorecard every three months.

Gaps. The City's list shows no website for him. The website was found by search, and the match rests on the page naming him and this ward and on The Local linking to it.

No social media account was named on the page read. The questionnaire has not been sent.
