Liz Grade appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 8 Eglinton-Lawrence. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 28, 2026 and the campaign website votelizgrade.ca.
Elections Canada’s official results for the April 28, 2025 general election in University-Rosedale list Liz Grade of the Conservative Party of Canada with 14,624 votes, second among 7 candidates. Chrystia Freeland of the Liberal Party of Canada was first with 39,847. The 7 declared totals add up to 62,265 votes, so her share was 23.5 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures. The Local’s Ward 8 page says she ran for federal office with the Conservative Party in University-Rosedale in 2025 and came second of seven, and that report links the entry to this candidate. Ontario municipal candidates have no party, so none is recorded for her 2026 candidacy.
Her campaign website says she is a Toronto-based commercial real estate broker and business owner with more than 21 years of experience in real estate. The Local says she is a real estate broker with Royal LePage Commercial. Her About page also says she is a director of a family-run construction company, holds a Bachelor’s degree in Design and has served as a committee member of the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board Commercial Committee. These are the campaign’s own statements and The Local’s, and voche.me did not check them with a regulator, the firm or the board.
Her website’s three headings are Safer Streets, Less Traffic and Lower Costs. They include hiring 1,000 more Toronto Police officers, no city-funded drug kits, no more injection sites, keeping bike lanes off major streets, a two-year tax freeze, a full audit and term limits. The Local also reports posts on her social media accounts about the removal of downtown bike lanes. voche.me could not read those posts, so none is repeated.
