Toronto municipal electionSal Piccininni appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Toronto Catholic District School Board in Ward 10. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 17, 2026. Ward 10 covers City ward 5 (York South-Weston).
The City Clerk’s 2022 results list Daniel Di Giorgio as elected in Ward 10. The Local reports that Di Giorgio is one of three trustees running for city councillor this year, so he is not a candidate for this seat.
In the Corriere Canadese interview of August 26, 2026, he says he decided to run because the board needs to reset its relationship with the province, which put the board under supervision. He says board staff work for trustees, that their job is to propose and cost solutions, and that he has done that. The interviewer says he was one of the first elected officials to be interviewed by the paper, in 2016, and that he did not run in the last election. The article does not name the office he held or the ward.
The City Clerk’s 2018 declaration lists a candidate with the same name for a Toronto Catholic District School Board ward, and the 2022 declaration lists none. No source voche.me read ties the 2018 entry to this candidate, so no earlier result is stated. The board’s meeting site answered with an access error, so no board record of a past role was read and no vote is cited. His Know Your Vote T.O. page marks all four questions “Awaiting submission”.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
In the interview he says the board must report enrolment so the province releases funding, and that he wants to reset the relationship.

Corriere Canadese · Sal Piccininni seeks re-election in TCDSB, August 26, 2026Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, his Know Your Vote T.O. page, the English and Italian versions of the Corriere Canadese interview of August 26, 2026, the City Clerk’s 2018 and 2022 declarations of results, The Local’s article of August 24, 2026 on trustee candidates and Wikipedia’s page on the 2026 election. Name, office, ward and nomination date are as the City prints them.
A result belongs to a candidate only when a named source ties that entry to this person, and a matching name alone is not enough. The City Clerk’s 2018 declaration lists a candidate with the same name, and no source ties it to this candidate, so it is not used. The TCDSB’s trustee pages loaded only a browser check, so no board record was read and no recorded vote is cited. The sitting trustees come from the City Clerk’s 2022 results, The Local and Wikipedia. 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.
Gaps. His past role, if any, is not stated because no official record that voche.me could read gives it. He gave the City no website. No board minutes were read, so no recorded vote is cited. The questionnaire has not been sent.
