Nick Mantas

Nick Mantas appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as July 20, 2026 and gives no campaign website for him. The Local’s tracker links nickmantas.com. The site carries his name and the Ward 22 campaign, and voche.me treats it as the campaign’s own statement.

The City’s Members of Council page lists Councillor Nick Mantas for Scarborough-Agincourt. His City profile, which ends with the line “Information provided by the Councillor”, says he worked as a federal constituency assistant, as a policy advisor to the Senate of Canada and as Chief of Staff for the former Ward 22 Councillor, and that he holds a Bachelor’s degree in Economics from York University. The profile lists his seats as the Economic and Community Development Committee, Scarborough Community Council (Vice-Chair), the Board of Management of the Toronto Zoo, the Canadian National Exhibition Association, the Greater Toronto Airports Authority Consultative Committee and the Toronto and Region Conservation Authority, and his Business Improvement Area seat as the Kennedy Road BIA. The page shows March 11, 2025 as its modification date. The City page gives no start date for his first term, so voche.me states none.

The City Clerk’s declaration of results for the January 15, 2021 Ward 22 by-election, dated January 18, 2021, lists Nick Mantas first among 27 candidates with 3,261 votes, marked elected. Manna Wong was second with 3,038. The 27 declared totals add up to 12,088 votes, so his share was 27.0 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures. The Clerk’s declaration for the October 24, 2022 general election lists him first among 6 candidates for Councillor in Ward 22 Scarborough-Agincourt, with 8,228 votes, marked elected. Bill Wu was second with 3,153. The 6 declared totals add up to 16,831 votes, so his share was 48.9 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures.

His campaign website, the campaign’s own statement, says he has served as City Councillor for the past two terms and lists eight priorities: creating cultural and community spaces, improving transit and infrastructure, neighbourhood safety, fostering tech jobs and innovation, park upgrades, completing the Bridletowne community hub, affordable housing and tackling food security. The site gives no detail under each one. Its About page lists boards and committees, among them a seat on the Board of Directors of the Greater Toronto Airports Authority, which differs from the City’s listing of a Consultative Committee seat. Both are shown here as each source words them. The home page also shows a quote attributed to John Tory, Mayor of Toronto, endorsing him. voche.me did not check that quote against Mr. Tory.

TTCriders’ Ward 22 page records that he answered Yes to 16 of its 18 transit questions and No to 2. The page says he responded on October 1 after the results were first released. Those are his answers to an advocacy group’s survey.

The Local’s tracker, written by that outlet’s journalists and updated as of September 21, 2026, describes him as a former staffer for the previous Ward 22 councillor, first elected in the 2021 by-election and re-elected in 2022. It says he is endorsed by the current Member of Parliament and the current Member of Provincial Parliament for Scarborough-Agincourt. That is The Local’s account. The tracker also describes his votes on several motions and makes a claim about his travel expenses. voche.me read no City record of any vote or motion and repeats none of these claims. The expense claim rests on The Local alone, and the searches run for this record returned no other report of it.
