Justin Di Ciano () is a Canadian politician, who represented former Ward 5 (Etobicoke—Lakeshore) on Toronto City Council as a councillor for the years 2014–2018.[1]
Career
Prior to his election, Di Ciano worked as a manager for Gross Securities, a Toronto real estate investment firm,[1] and was active in the community as a cofounder of the Jean Augustine Centre for Young Women's Empowerment and as a director of the Toronto Ribfest.[1]
He ran in the same ward in the 2010 election, losing narrowly to incumbent councillor Peter Milczyn.[1]
On March 8, 2018 the Toronto Star first reported that Di Ciano was being investigated by the OPP's anti-racket's branch, known for investigating enterprise crime and complex fraud, for "potential violations of the Municipal Elections Act."[2] On November 16, 2018 the OPP charged Di Ciano along with Mark Grimes for allegedly filing false campaign expenses for the 2014 municipal elections, contrary to the Municipal Elections Act.[3][4]
As a result of the ward boundary changes imposed on the City of Toronto by the Ontario Provincial Government in 2018 Ward 5 and Ward 6 were consolidated to make a new larger Ward 3. DiCiano announced he would not seek re-election in the larger new Ward.[5]
