Ward 1 Etobicoke North is a municipal electoral division in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario that has been represented in the Toronto City Council since the 2018 municipal election. It was last contested in 2022, with Vincent Crisanti being elected councillor.
On August 14, 2018, the province redrew municipal boundaries via the Better Local Government Act, 2018, S.O. 2018, c. 11 - Bill 5.[1] This means that the 25 Provincial districts and the 25 municipal wards in Toronto currently share the same geographic borders.
Defined in legislation as:
Consisting of that part of the City of Toronto described as follows: commencing at the intersection of the northerly limit of said city with the Humber River; thence generally southerly along said river to the easterly production of Dixon Road; thence westerly along said production and Dixon Road to Martin Grove Road; thence southerly along said road to Eglinton Avenue West; thence westerly along said avenue and Highway No. 427 to Highway No. 401; thence southwesterly along said highway to the westerly limit of the City of Toronto; thence northerly and easterly along the westerly and northerly limits of said city to the point of commencement.[2]
Toronto municipal ward boundaries were significantly modified in 2018 during the election campaign. Ultimately the new ward structure was used and later upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada in 2021.[3]
2022 municipal election
Michael Ford resigned his seat in June 2022, after winning election to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2022 provincial election. Vincent Crisanti, who finished second behind Ford in 2018, and who had held Ward 1 prior to the amalgamation of Wards 1 and 2 in 2018, was elected.
Geography
Etobicoke North is part of the Etobicoke and York community council.[4] The ward occupies the northwestern part of Toronto. The eastern boundary is the Humber River from Steeles Avenue south to a point just to the east of the Dixon Road. The southern boundary runs west from the Humber River along Dixon Road to Martin Grove Road to Eglinton Avenue to the western limit of the city. The western and northern limits of the ridings are formed by the city limits.
*Following Michael Ford's election as MPP, council proceeded to appoint an interim council. Rosemarie Bryan was appointed on June 24, 2022 but was not sworn in and resigning shortly after due to past homophobic remarks.[7] She served on council for a total of about 5 hours, 40 minutes.[8]
