Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on December 7, 1964. Incumbent mayor Philip Givens defeated former mayor Allan Lamport.
Philip Givens had become mayor in late 1963 after the unexpected death of Donald Dean Summerville. He had previously served many years on city council. He was opposed by Allan A. Lamport, a veteran politician who had served as mayor a decade earlier from 1952 to 1954. Both candidates were affiliated with the Liberal Party, but Lamport ran on a more conservative platform.
The Toronto Board of Control had one vacancy due to Lamport's decision to run for mayor. Former alderwoman Margaret Campbell bested aldermen George Ben and Richard Horkins to win the position. The Board election was citywide with the top four elected. The two controllers with the most votes also sit on Metropolitan Toronto Council. [1] [2]
Two City Council incumbents were defeated. In the Beaches Alice Summerville, widow of Mayor Summerville, reclaimed her husband's former seat and defeated incumbent Alex Hodgins. In the west end William Davidson, who had first been elected to council in 1926, was defeated in a surprise upset by Ben Grys. Two candidates were elected from each ward, with the top vote-getter also winning a seat on Metro Toronto council. Due to the acclamation in Ward 1 Council chose Fred Beavis as that Ward's Metro representative.
Results are taken from the December 8, 1964 Toronto Star and might not exactly match final tallies.
