What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, her Know Your Vote T.O. page, the City Clerk’s 2022 declaration of results, The Local’s Ward 1 page updated as of September 21, 2026 and The Local’s article of August 24, 2026 on trustee candidates. Name, office, ward and nomination date are as the City prints them.
The City Clerk’s 2022 results for the Toronto Catholic District School Board list Joseph Martino elected in Ward 1 with 2,148 votes and Robert Pella second with 2,147. The City Clerk’s recount notice of April 20, 2023 confirms those counts after a court-ordered partial recount. The Local’s Ward 1 page, updated as of September 21, 2026, says Martino has been the TCDSB trustee for Ward 1 since 1986 and is a candidate for councillor in City Ward 1. He is not among the three Ward 1 trustee candidates on the City’s list. The TCDSB’s trustee pages loaded only a browser check and its meeting site answered with an access error, so no board record was read. The Local reports that the province took over the TCDSB in June 2025 and that, while the board is under provincial supervision, the job of Catholic board trustees is limited to denominational matters. The City Clerk’s 2022 results list no entry under Maria Dias in any race. voche.me found no board page that compares the 2022 and 2026 TCDSB ward boundaries, so the 2022 results above belong to the ward numbered 1 in 2022.
Gaps. The City’s list shows no campaign website for this candidate. Her Know Your Vote T.O. page lists no website or social account, and web searches found no page that carries her own statements. Empty sections record that nothing was verified. The questionnaire has not been sent.
