Kevin Morrison appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 19 Beaches-East York. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 5, 2026 and the campaign website electkevinmorrison.com.
The City Clerk’s declaration of results for the October 24, 2022 general election lists Kevin Morrison first among 7 candidates for Toronto Catholic District School Board Ward 9, with 1,832 votes, marked elected. The 7 declared totals add up to 6,658 votes, so his share was 27.5 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures. Rosina Bonavota was second with 1,248. The Local’s tracker says he was elected as a trustee in the board’s Ward 9, which ties the Clerk’s entry to him, and CBC News of September 19, 2026 calls him a current Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee. The Local gives 2023 as the year he was elected and says the Ford government’s takeover has since eliminated the trustee roles. The board’s own pages did not load for voche.me, so no start date, vice-chair role or current status is taken from the board.
In a Beach Metro opinion piece of October 9, 2025 that he co-wrote with the Toronto District School Board trustee Michelle Aarts, the two say that the Minister of Education put both boards under supervision, that trustees have been dismissed and that public board meetings have stopped. Those are their statements in their own piece, and voche.me did not check them against the Ministry.
His campaign website and his written answers in Beach Metro, which are the campaign’s own statements, say he has lived in Beaches-East York for 30 years, has served the community for more than 25 years, was an outgoing vice-chair of the board, served on the board of the Angel Foundation and in volunteer work with WoodGreen, and received a Queen’s Platinum Jubilee Award in 2023. They say he negotiated a new school for children with special needs, and created hundreds of child-care spaces. voche.me did not check these claims with the board, the charities or the award’s issuer.
His to-do list page promises to stop Billy Bishop Airport expansion, make snow removal comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, increase bus and streetcar frequency from subway stations, press for a new school and community centre at Main and Danforth, invest in supportive housing to end homelessness, expect developers to provide green and community space, and expand child care. CBC News quotes him on September 19, 2026 saying there is no real need to upset a Gardiner ramp plan that is already happening, while adding that he would write to the province to speed it up. TTCriders’ Ward 19 page records no response from him to its 18 transit questions, and Build Canada lists him among the candidates who had not answered its questionnaire.
