History

The ward was created in 2018 when the provincial government aligned Toronto's then-44 municipal wards [1] with the 25 corresponding provincial and federal ridings. [2] The current ward is an amalgamation of the old Ward 1 (northern section), the old Ward 2 (southern section). [3] [4]

2018 municipal election

Ward 1 was first contested during the 2018 municipal election. Ward 2 incumbent Michael Ford, who was a Toronto District School Board trustee and the nephew of Premier Doug Ford, was elected with 42.26 per cent of the vote. [3] [5]

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.
