Ward 15 Don Valley West is a municipal electoral division in Toronto, Ontario that has been represented in the Toronto City Council since the 2018 municipal election. It was last contested in a by-election in 2024, with Rachel Chernos Lin elected to succeed Jaye Robinson as the councillor for the 2022–2026 term.
The ward was created in 2018 when the provincial government aligned Toronto's then-44 municipal wards with the 25 corresponding provincial and federal ridings. [1] [2] The current ward is made up of parts of the former Ward 22 St Paul's, the former Ward 25 Don Valley West and southwest portion of the former Ward 26 Don Valley West. [3] [4] From 1988 to 2000, much of the area was covered by North York Centre South Ward, which was represented on Metro Toronto Council until amalgamation in 1997, then on Toronto City Council for one term. Prior to amalgamation, the area was represented by wards 6 (west of Yonge Street) and 8 (east of Yonge) on North York Council.
Ward 15 is part of the North York Community Council. [5]
Before the 2025 federal election, [6] Don Valley West's boundaries mirrorred its federal and provincial counterparts: its west border is Mount Pleasant Road and Yonge Street, its north border is Highway 401, its east border is Leslie Street, the Don River and part of Don Mills Road, and the south border is the Don River and the Beltline Trail.
