School board results
The Scugog certified results also give the combined totals for the two Durham District School Board trustee positions representing Brock, Scugog and Uxbridge. Dave Brown received 8,412 votes and Paul Breeze 6,944, winning the two seats. James Bountrogiannis received 5,510 and Netalia Duboisky 3,841.
Richard Damianopoulos was acclaimed to the Durham Catholic District School Board. Erik Lapointe was acclaimed to Conseil scolaire Viamonde, and Marcellin Kwilu Mondo to Conseil scolaire catholique MonAvenir.
Certification is the new development
The township’s clerk certified the totals on October 28 and declared the elected candidates under section 55(4) of the Municipal Elections Act, 1996, according to the published declaration.
The winners and vote totals do not represent a reversal of the earlier tally. The material change is their certified status. All About Durham’s initial article explicitly described the results as unofficial.
The current results webpage also contains tables from older elections farther down the page. This report uses only the township’s 2026 certified table, not the historical figures.
