In their own words

Verbatim, attributed, dated. Every passage below is copied exactly from an archived copy of its source — a campaign website, a news article, or the candidate's own social media post — and links to it. Nothing is paraphrased by this site and no for-or-against label is applied: read the words, follow the link. Passages from news coverage say whether they are the candidate quoted, the reporter's reported speech, or the reporter's characterisation.

Compiled in a research batch dated October 15, 2026, reviewed by hand before publication on October 15, 2026.

Passages are capped at 60 words and listed newest first; undated campaign pages show and sort by the date archived. A candidate with nothing located on an issue is listed as such, with the date their sources were checked; a race is shown only once every candidate in it has been checked. See methodology.

Education

'I have proven to be responsible in fiscal management and will ensure taxpayer dollars are allocated appropriately,' says Rob Chiaramida

I am running for Catholic school board trustee because I believe every child deserves the opportunity to learn and grow in a safe, equitable, inclusive, faith-filled and forward-thinking environment.

I am committed to representing all stakeholders to ensure students have access to the resources, opportunities and supportive learning environments they need to thrive and reach their full potential.

I understand the importance of schools that provide a thriving environment with dedicated educators and a school board that listens, supports and enriches the families it serves.

I am familiar with the current SMCDSB values and strategic plans. It is my goal to create effective collaboration to ensure these are met and evaluated accordingly.

To serve as trustee would be both an honour and a privilege – one I would embrace with pride, purpose and a steadfast commitment to putting the needs of our students and families at the heart of every decision.
