Notes on this record
How the lists were read, and what could not be.
- Orillia's /local region is the whole city; the mayor race and all four two-member wards are included.
- Certified list: the City Clerk's 'List of Certified Candidates' PDF dated 2026-08-24, linked from orillia.ca's Municipal Elections and Voting page (retrieved 2026-10-09). Candidate emails are from the candidate table on the same orillia.ca page; that table also prints qualifying addresses and phone numbers — neither copied.
- Mayor Don McIsaac is not on the certified list — an open mayoral race. Ward 1 Councillor Whitney Smith is certified for Mayor as 'Whitney Joy Smith' (the web table shows her Ward 1 nomination replaced by a mayoral filing on 2026-05-19). Ward 4 Councillor Janet-Lynne Durnford is certified for Ward 4 as 'JL Durnford' (she had first filed for Mayor). The other six sitting councillors are all running again in their own wards.
- No council seat was acclaimed. The English-Separate (Simcoe Muskoka Catholic) trustee, J. Timothy Jackson, is marked Acclaimed on the City page; trustees are not carried.
- Sitting council from orillia.ca's Mayor & Council page (2022–2026 term), which prints no member emails; emails are therefore null for sitting members not using a campaign address.
- Candidate emails kept only where on a campaign domain or plainly a campaign mailbox; apparently personal addresses left null. The list gives no websites.
