Notes on this record

How the lists were read, and what could not be.

  • Concord is not a municipality: it is a community in the City of Vaughan. This record carries the Vaughan mayoral race, the four Local and Regional Councillor seats and Ward 4 (Concord/Thornhill North), the ward named for and covering Concord (verified on Wikipedia's Vaughan City Council ward table and Vaughan Public Libraries' ward labels).
  • The City of Vaughan's own website blocks automated access (Akamai 'Access Denied', HTTP 403); rows marked unofficial come from Wikipedia's '2026 York Region municipal elections' article (Vaughan section) and Wikipedia's 'Vaughan City Council' article (sitting ward councillors), corroborated name-for-name by the search-engine excerpt of the City's 'List of Acclaimed and Certified Candidates' post and, where it lists them, Vaughan Public Libraries' election page; they should be checked against the municipality when it can be read.
  • The sitting Mayor and four Local and Regional Councillors (and their @vaughan.ca emails) are confirmed by York Region's Regional Council page (official, retrieved 2026-10-09) — recorded on each row as officeSource. Linda Jackson is Deputy Mayor; on the ballot as 'Linda D. Jackson'.
  • Nominations closed 2026-08-21. Mayor Steven Del Duca, all four Local and Regional Councillors and all five ward councillors seek re-election; Ward 5 (Thornhill) Councillor Gila Martow was acclaimed.
  • No campaign websites or socials were captured for Vaughan candidates (none printed by the sources used). No phone numbers or addresses recorded.
  • Federal and provincial representatives are from a Represent point lookup at the community centre (unchanged from the earlier record).
  • 2026-10-10: sitting rows confirmed officially: Steven Del Duca (Mayor), Linda Jackson (Deputy Mayor (Local and Regional Councillor)), Mario Ferri (Local and Regional Councillor), Gino Rosati (Local and Regional Councillor), Mario G. Racco (Local and Regional Councillor), Chris Ainsworth (Ward 4 (Concord/Thornhill North)). Mayor and Local and Regional Councillors from York Region's Regional Council page (york.ca, re-read 2026-10-10); ward councillors from the City of Vaughan's own public GIS 'Ward' layer (ArcGIS Online, COUNCILLOR field, data last edited 2023-03-06; no licence stated). These rows are now official (unofficial: false; old Wikipedia source kept as previousSource). Candidate rows are unchanged and stay unofficial (2026 candidate lists are not in open data).
