Boundaries

On August 14, 2018, the province redrew municipal boundaries via the Better Local Government Act, 2018, S.O. 2018, c. 11 - Bill 5. [2] 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 Eglinton Avenue West with Dufferin Street; thence southerly along said street to Rogers Road; thence easterly along said road to Oakwood Avenue; thence southerly along said avenue to Holland Park Avenue; thence easterly along said avenue to Winona Drive; thence generally southerly along said drive to Davenport Road; thence westerly along said road to Ossington Avenue; thence southerly along said avenue to Dundas Street West; thence westerly along said street to Dovercourt Road; thence southerly along said road and its production to the GO Transit Railway; thence generally northwesterly along said railway to the southerly production of Keele Street; thence northerly along said production and Keele Street to Lavender Road; thence easterly along said road to Old Weston Road; thence northwesterly along said road to Rogers Road; thence easterly along said road to the GO Transit Railway situated easterly of Blackthorn Avenue; thence northerly along said railway to Eglinton Avenue West; thence easterly along said avenue to the point of commencement.

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. [4]

The current ward is an amalgamation of the old Ward 17 (northern section), the old Ward 18 (southern section), and part of the western edge of the old Ward 19. [5] [6]

2018 municipal election

Ward 9 was first contested during the 2018 municipal election. Ana Bailão, who was Ward 18 councillor and a deputy mayor, was elected with 83.62 per cent of the vote. [7]
