Highlights
Detailed Summary Mayor John Tory was elected for his third term with over 60% of the vote. He has indicated that he will not run for a fourth term in the 2026 election. Urban advocate Gil Penalosa was the only strong challenger with the support of 18% of residents. Mike Layton’s decision not to run for Ward 11 University Rosedale Councillor left the field open. Provincial Green Party Deputy Leader Dianne Saxe won the ward, closely followed by Toronto Catholic District School Board Trustee Norm Di Pasquale. Norm was endorsed by the outgoing Ward 11 University Rosedale Councillor. Appointed Toronto Centre Councillor Robin Buxton Potts finished in third place. The departure of Kristyn Wong-Tam, who was elected as MPP Toronto Centre, created an opportunity for TDSB Trustee Chris Moise. Chris received an endorsement from the former Ward 13 Toronto Centre Councillor and was elected as Ward 13 Toronto Centre Councillor by a substantial majority, with about 50% of the vote. Community activist Nicki Ward came in second with 18% of the vote. Deborah Williams was endorsed by outgoing Ward 10 TDSB Trustee Chris Moise. She received over half of the votes cast for Ward 10 TDSB Trustee. ‘D’ is a parent and community advocate who was endorsed by the former TDSB Trustee. Norm Di Pasquale was the Ward 9 TCDSB Trustee and turned his attention to run as a City Councillor. Kevin Morrison was elected, after previous unsuccessful campaigns in 2010 and 2014. He is a parent and community advocate. Overall, voter turnout was lower throughout the city. It was especially pronounced in Ward 13 Toronto Centre, with about 18% of residents voting. This was substantially lower than the 30% in the 2018 municipal election for the area. There was also a decline in Ward 11 University Rosedale participation, with a 23% voter turnout, compared to 31% in the 2018 municipal election for the neighbourhood. Ward 13 Toronto Centre was created in 2018 from former Wards 27/28 Toronto Centre Rosedale. Kristyn Wong-Tam resigned May 4/22 after 12 years as Councillor and was elected MPP June 2/22. Robin Buxton Potts was appointed Interim Councillor on June 1/22 until November 14/22 and confirmed she would not be running for the position in the October 2022 elections.
There are 9 candidates for Councillor of Ward 13 Toronto Centre in this year's election:
Ward 11 University Rosedale was created in 2018 from parts of former Ward 19/20 Trinity Spadina and Ward 27 Toronto Centre Rosedale. Mike Layton has been the Councillor since 2010 and announced in July 2022 that he would not be participating in the October 2022 election. There are 14 candidates for Councillor Ward 11 University Rosedale in this October's municipal election:

Bill 3 Strong Mayor and Building Homes Act was passed by provincial government September 8th. It gives the mayors of Toronto and Ottawa sweeping powers over municipal budgets, plus the ability to hire and fire senior city staff. It will be effective after October 24, 2022 election. It also gives municipalities the ability to shorten development timelines by cutting ‘red tape’ to increase housing supply. This likely means less community consultation and prioritization of quickly approving buildings over environmental and infrastructure concerns.
This makes your vote for Mayor even more important during the October municipal election. Mayoral candidates should be asked how they would assert these new powers if elected. 31 candidates have registered for the 2022 Mayoral race, a slight reduction from the 35 candidates in the last 2018 election. John Tory is running for his third term. There are 6 other candidates this year that ran in the 2018 election: Drew Buckingham, Kevin Clark, Sarah Climenhaga, Monowar Hossain, Kris Langenfeld and Knia Singh. The other candidates are: Blake Acton, Avraham Arrobas, Darren Atkinson, Chloe-Marie Brown, Elvira Caputolan, Phillip D'Cruze, Cory Deville, Alexey Efimovskikh, Isabella Gamk, , Arjun Gupta, Peter Handjis, Robert Hatton, Sooad Hossain, Khadijah Jamal, John Letonja, Tony Luk, Ferin Malek, Gil Penalosa, Stephen Punswasi, D!onne Renee, Kyle Schwartz, Sandeep Srivastava, Reginald Tull and Jack Yan. We encourage you to research the candidates to help you determine who to support as the City of Toronto Mayor for the next 4 years in the October 24, 2022 municipal election. Please be advised that the General Member's Meeting that was scheduled for 7 pm on Monday September 19th has been cancelled.

We look forward to seeing everyone at the Annual General Meeting on Monday November 21st at 7 pm. The meeting will be held virtually. Stay tuned for details on guest speakers and the agenda to be released in early November. The Federal Electoral Boundaries Commission for Ontario has proposed changing boundaries and names for electoral districts across the province because of changes in population. The review process is mandated every 10 years. The federal electoral district is the same as the provincial electoral district in southern Ontario, and municipal ward for Toronto.
The existing 25 electoral districts/wards in Toronto will be reduced to 24 electoral districts/wards to be in line with federal quotas for population size for each electoral district/ward. Scarborough Agincourt will be combined with Scarborough North to create Scarborough Northwest. The Bay Cloverhill neighbourhood will no longer be part of Toronto Centre and be located solely in the University Rosedale electoral district. Changes will not be effective until 2024 at the earliest.
