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.

The current ward is an amalgamation of the old Ward 11 (western section), the old Ward 12 (eastern section).

2018 municipal election Ward 5 York South—Weston was first contested during the 2018 municipal election. Ward-12 incumbent Frank Di Giorgio, who served as budget chief under former mayor Rob Ford ran against Ward 11 incumbent and council speaker Frances Nunziata, and nine other candidates. Nunziata was ultimately elected with 44.55 per cent of the vote.

2022 municipal election In 2022, Nunziata narrowly secured re-election in a tightly contested race against progressive candidate Chiara Padovani, who was endorsed by Progress Toronto and the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. Nunziata prevailed over Padovani by a margin of 94 votes.

Geography York South—Weston is part of the Etobicoke/York community council.

It is bordered to the west by the Humber River and the east by a Canadian National Railway track. The north boundary is Highway 401 and the south boundary is a Canadian Pacific Railway track.
