OPP Opens Investigation Into Toronto Councillor Parthi Kandavel

Reporting points to OPP requests about a Kennedy Road high-rise approved following his settlement motion.

Overview

  • Kandavel confirmed an Ontario Provincial Police investigation and said he was surprised by the allegations.
  • The councillor said he is still learning details of the probe and pledged to address any claims against him.
  • The OPP has not released information about the case, and the force did not respond to a request for comment from NOW Toronto.
  • A Toronto Star report says investigators sought information on a project at 708–712 Kennedy Road, which council approved last June after Kandavel moved to accept a settlement from the owners.
  • Kandavel is in his first term after a 2023 by-election, he earlier served as a TDSB trustee, and he has not yet registered for the 2026 municipal election.
