Ward 11 University—Rosedale

Ward 11 University—Rosedale is a municipal electoral division in Toronto, Ontario that has been represented in the Toronto City Council since the 2018 municipal election. It was last contested in 2022, with Dianne Saxe elected councillor for the 2022-2026 term.

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 College Street with Bay Street; thence northerly along Bay Street to Charles Street West; thence easterly along said street to Yonge Street; thence southerly along said street to Charles Street East; thence easterly along said street to Mount Pleasant Road; thence northerly along said road to Bloor Street East; thence easterly along said street to Sherbourne Street North; thence northerly along said street to Rosedale Valley Road; thence generally easterly along said road and its production to the Don River; thence generally northerly along said river to Pottery Road; thence northwesterly and southwesterly along said road to Bayview Avenue; thence generally northerly and northwesterly along said avenue to the Canadian Pacific Railway situated northwesterly of Nesbitt Drive; thence southwesterly along said railway to the Beltline Trail situated in the Moore Park Ravine; thence generally northwesterly along said trail to the southerly boundary of the Mount Pleasant Cemetery; thence generally westerly along said boundary to the northwesterly production of the Don River Tributary situated easterly of Avoca Avenue; thence generally southeasterly along said production and said tributary to the easterly production of Rosehill Avenue; thence westerly along said production and Rosehill Avenue to the westerly boundary of the Rosehill Reservoir; thence southerly along said boundary to Jackes Avenue; thence westerly along said avenue to Yonge Street; thence southerly along said street to the Canadian Pacific Railway; thence generally westerly along said railway to Ossington Avenue; thence southerly along said avenue to Dundas Street West; thence generally easterly along said street to Yonge Street; thence northerly along said street to College Street; thence westerly along said street to the point of commencement.^[2]

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 made up of parts of the old Ward 19 Trinity—Spadina, Ward 20 Trinity—Spadina and Ward 27 Toronto Centre—Rosedale.^[4][5]

Ward 11 University—Rosedale was first contested during the 2018 municipal election with seven candidates. Mike Layton was ultimately elected with 69.56 per cent of the vote.^[6]

Ward 11 is part of the Toronto and East York community council.^[7]

University—Rosedale's west boundary is Ossington Avenue, and its east boundary is Bayview Avenue, the Don River, Rosedale Valley Road, Bloor Street, Charles Street, College Street and Yonge Street. The Canadian Pacific Railway tracks, Yonge Street, Mount Pleasant Cemetery and the Moore Park Ravine make up the north boundary, and Dundas Street makes up the south boundary.
