A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 21, 2026 and a campaign website, trusteelargo.ca. Ward 7 covers City wards 21 (Scarborough Centre) and 22 (Scarborough-Agincourt). Her campaign website, which uses the name Dr. Marissa Largo, says she is an educator and researcher who holds degrees from York University, Concordia University and the University of Toronto, and that she taught at Mary Ward CSS. It says she grew up in Wexford, in Ward 7, and graduated from St Kevin Catholic School and Senator O’Connor College School. Those details are her own statements, and voche.me checked none of them against a school or university record. Her site says she has served on the TCDSB’s Filipino Community Advisory Committee and Special Committee for Race Relations. Her Know Your Vote T.O. answers say the same of the Filipino Advisory Committee and the Special Committee on Race Relations. voche.me read no board record that confirms either role. She is the only Ward 7 candidate on the City’s list with answers on Know Your Vote T.O. The other two are Celine DiNova and Gregory Rodriguez. Read the sources 02 / The issues ## Priorities & positions Campaign-source summary Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform. 01 ### Restoring trustee voice and accountability In her Know Your Vote T.O. answers she says the most important issue is restoring democratic voice and accountability to the board, and says decisions on budgets, programs and services have been made without trustee oversight or community input. [Know Your Vote T.O. · Marissa Largo, TCDSB Ward 7 ](https://knowyourvote.to/candidates/toronto-catholic-district-school-board-ward-7-marissa-largo) 02 ### Families, schools and parishes Her website lists stronger partnerships among families, schools, parishes and community organizations, and student well-being at the center of decisions.

[Dr. Marissa Largo for Trustee · Home ](https://trusteelargo.ca/) 04 ### Transparency and funding Her website lists transparency, accountability and responsible stewardship of public resources, and equitable funding for publicly funded Catholic schools. [Dr. Marissa Largo for Trustee · Home ](https://trusteelargo.ca/) 05 ### Class sizes, staffing and programs In her Know Your Vote T.O. answers she supports adequate teacher and educational-assistant staffing, equitable allocation of resources, International Language Education and more support for MEDD and ISP students. [Know Your Vote T.O. · Marissa Largo, TCDSB Ward 7 ](https://knowyourvote.to/candidates/toronto-catholic-district-school-board-ward-7-marissa-largo) Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, the home page of her campaign website, her Know Your Vote T.O. page, The Local’s article of August 24, 2026 on trustee candidates and Wikipedia’s page on the 2026 election. Her priorities, education and committee service come from her campaign website and her Know Your Vote T.O. answers, and each is attributed to her in the sentence that carries it. The City Clerk’s 2022 results list Mike Del Grande elected in Ward 7 with 3,559 votes, and Wikipedia’s page on the 2026 election says he has not registered to run again. 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 TCDSB’s trustee pages loaded only a browser check, so voche.me read no board page. Her website is one page with About, Priorities, Experience, Endorsements and Contact sections. Its endorsements are quotations chosen by the campaign and are not repeated here. Gaps. Her Instagram and Facebook pages, both linked from her website, returned only their titles, so nothing from them is used. No board record was read, so her committee service is stated only as her own account. Her degrees and teaching years are unchecked. The questionnaire has not been sent.
