Sheena Sharp appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 15 Don Valley West. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as July 21, 2026 and the campaign website votesheenasharp.ca.
The City Clerk’s declaration of results for the October 24, 2022 general election lists Sheena Sharp second of 4 candidates for Councillor in Ward 15 Don Valley West, with 2,780 of 21,749 declared votes, 12.8 percent, calculated by voche.me. Jaye Robinson was elected with 16,142. The Clerk’s declaration for the November 4, 2024 by-election lists her fourth of 16 candidates with 575 of 23,555 declared votes, 2.4 percent, calculated by voche.me. Rachel Chernos Lin was elected with 12,899. The Local says Sharp ran for this council seat in 2022 and 2024, which ties both entries to her.
Her campaign website says she has worked as an architect for 35 years, has lived in Ward 15 for 30 years, has spent the last 18 years on buildings that reduce climate emissions, and was the architect of the City’s first net-zero building, the Mount Dennis Childcare. A net-zero building produces no net greenhouse gas emissions. The Local gives the same description of her work and adds that she leads the firm Coolearth Architecture and has held leadership roles at the Ontario Association of Architects. voche.me did not check these with the City, the firm or the Association.
The Local also reports that Sharp ran as the Green Party candidate in the ward’s 2022 and 2025 provincial elections and in the 2025 federal election. voche.me opened no election record for these and gives them as The Local’s report.
Her climate page says Toronto should keep its target of net-zero by 2040, replace gas furnaces with electric heat pumps, and that the City could help finance the work by adding it to property tax bills. It also says City Council delayed a building emissions bylaw until after the election. The Local summarises other positions from her website on housing, taxes and policing. voche.me did not open those pages of her website.
TTCriders, a transit rider group, asked every Ward 15 candidate 18 questions about the TTC. Its page lists Sheena Sharp with 16 answers of Yes and 2 of No. That list is TTCriders’ record.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
Her climate page says the City should keep its target of net-zero emissions by 2040, plan for electric heating in all buildings, and prepare charging, electricity supply and electric transit.
The page says the City could finance building upgrades by adding repayment to property tax bills.
The Local reports that her website proposes simpler planning for buildings under six storeys, support for small landlords, preference for non-profits and co-operatives in subsidy programs, and raising money from sources other than cutting services she considers necessary.
voche.me did not open the housing and taxes pages of her website, so this rests on The Local’s summary.
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, its Members of Council page and Councillor Rachel Chernos Lin’s profile, the City Clerk’s declarations of results for 2022 and for the 2024 by-election, three pages of her campaign website (home page, About Sheena and Climate Ready City), The Local’s Ward 15 tracker and TTCriders’ page of Ward 15 candidate responses. Every statement taken from her campaign website is written as the campaign’s own account.
Ward context. The sitting Ward 15 councillor on the City’s Members of Council page is Rachel Chernos Lin, who is also a candidate. The City’s list has 3 candidates for Ward 15: Rachel Chernos Lin, Sheena Sharp and Denis Tsang. The City Clerk’s 2022 results for Ward 15 list four candidates: Jaye Robinson (16,142 votes, elected), Sheena Sharp (2,780), David Ricci (2,438) and Gregory Vaz (389). The City Clerk’s declaration for the November 4, 2024 by-election lists Rachel Chernos Lin first with 12,899 votes, marked elected. A search for a 2026 debate or all-candidates meeting in the ward found none.
Gaps. The pages of her website on housing, crime, taxes, protest, the Science Centre and voting reform were not opened. Her party candidacies rest on The Local alone. Her professional claims were not checked with outside records. No public office is on record in the profile. Her social media accounts were not read. The questionnaire has not been sent.
Her campaign website says she has worked as an architect for 35 years and was the architect of the City’s first net-zero building. The Local names her firm. voche.me checked neither with an outside record and states no dates.
