About Shaffni Nalir
Shaffni Nalir appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Toronto District School Board in Ward 7. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 15, 2026 and a campaign website, votenalir.ca.
His campaign website says he has lived in Toronto for his whole life and attended TDSB schools from junior kindergarten to Grade 12, and that he wants to be an accessible voice for students, families, educators and school staff in Ward 7. His Know Your Vote T.O. answers say he has years of experience working with youth, families and community organizations and that his priority is giving students and families a voice while the TDSB is under provincial supervision. These are his own statements, and voche.me did not check them with any school or organization.
TDSB wards changed for 2026. Ward 7 covers City wards 11, 12 and 13, which the candidates’ own sites call University-Rosedale, Toronto-St. Paul’s and Toronto Centre. The TDSB’s trustee wards page says that during provincial supervision the powers of trustees rest with the provincially appointed Supervisor, that trustees have no official duties with the board at this time, and that this also applies to trustees elected in October 2026.

Know Your Vote T.O. · Shaffni Nalir, TDSB Ward 7Research status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, his campaign website, his Know Your Vote T.O. answers and the TDSB’s trustee wards page. His school history and his experience with youth and community organizations come from his own website and answers and are attributed to them.
Identity check. Searches for his name returned pages that name a Shaffni Nalir. voche.me opened one from Emmanuel College at the University of Toronto and one from the CBC. The other results, a House of Commons record and contact-listing sites, were not opened. Neither opened page states that its subject is the Ward 7 candidate, and his campaign website and Know Your Vote T.O. page name no employer or organization. voche.me therefore did not confirm that they concern the same person and uses nothing from them.
Gaps. His Know Your Vote T.O. page lists Instagram and LinkedIn accounts. The Instagram page opened as a login page and the LinkedIn page refused the request (HTTP 999), so nothing from either is used. His website embeds a YouTube video that was not opened. No board minutes apply because voche.me found no board role. The questionnaire has not been sent.
