Boundaries

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 westerly limit of said city with Highway No. 401; thence easterly along said highway to Highway No. 427; thence easterly along said highway and Eglinton Avenue West to Martin Grove Road; thence northerly along said road to Dixon Road; thence easterly along said road and its easterly production to the Humber River; thence generally southeasterly along said river to Dundas Street West; thence southwesterly along said street to the Canadian Pacific Railway; thence southerly along said railway to Mimico Creek; thence generally northwesterly along said creek to Kipling Avenue; thence southerly along said avenue to Bloor Street West; thence westerly along said street to Highway No. 427; thence southerly along said highway to Dundas Street West; thence westerly along said street to the westerly limit of said city; thence generally northwesterly along said limit to the point of commencement. [2]

History

2018 Boundary Adjustment

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]

The current ward is an amalgamation of the old Ward 3 (western section), the old Ward 4 (eastern section). [4] [5]

2018 municipal election

Ward 2 was first contested during the 2018 municipal election. Then-Ward 3 incumbent Stephen Holyday was elected with 38.58 per cent of the vote. [6]

2022 municipal election

Stephen Holyday was comfortably re-elected in 2022 with 72.28 per cent of the vote.

Geography

Etobicoke Centre is part of the Etobicoke and York community council. [7]

The ward's west boundary is the municipal border with the Region of Peel, and the east boundary is the Humber River. The north boundary is roughly along Eglinton Avenue, Martin Grove Road and Dixon Road, and the south boundary is roughly along the Mimico Creek, Dundas Street, Kipling Avenue, Bloor Street and Highway 427.
