A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 21, 2026. The list shows no campaign website. The Local’s candidate tracker, written by that outlet’s journalists and updated on September 21, 2026, says little information is available online about her and that she runs an Instagram account. It says that in an Instagram video she says the city needs a housing system that protects both tenants and landlords, that she wants more City events for seniors so they feel more connected to the community, and that in another video she says the City should prioritize maintaining Toronto District School Board school buildings. That is The Local’s account. voche.me did not find the videos and cannot confirm which account they are on. Build Canada’s candidate page for her says it has no campaign site or profile for her yet, shows a Facebook link, and records that she has not returned its questionnaire. TTCriders’ Ward 21 page does not list her among the candidates it asked.
