Terri Hawkes appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 11 University-Rosedale. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 1, 2026 and the campaign website voteterrihawkes.ca.
Anime News Network reported on May 6, 2026 that she announced her run for Councillor, and quoted her announcement: “This morning at City Hall I registered to run in this fall’s election for the job of Toronto City Councillor, representing University-Rosedale (Ward 11).” It says that in her announcement video she notes that she serves on the board of the Annex Residence Association, co-founded the Dalton Road Residence Group and founded Art4You, and it describes her as best known as the voice of Sailor Moon in the original English dub. The Local’s Ward 11 tracker, updated as of September 21, 2026, calls her an actor, film producer and screenwriter, names the Annex Residents Association, and says she has deputed at City Hall against an 11-storey development in her neighbourhood. voche.me did not check the credits, the board seat or the deputation against the organizations or the City’s records.
Her website, the campaign’s own statement, calls her an independent, non-partisan community builder who lives and works in University-Rosedale. It says she registered on the first day and has knocked on thousands of doors since May 1, 2026, and that the issues she heard most were liveability, affordability, mobility and safety. Its priorities section names three: liveability, mobility and safety. It also promises regular in-person and hybrid town halls and an accessible, staffed office in the ward. These are the campaign’s statements, and the site names no costs or dates.
The Local reports that she says her campaign focuses on community, transparency and the future, with grassroots leadership, more public consultation and smarter planning. That is The Local’s summary of her stated platform.
