Ward 16 Don Valley East is a municipal electoral district in Toronto, Ontario, for Toronto's City Council. It was last contested in the 2022 municipal election, with Jon Burnside elected councillor.
Boundaries
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 Highway No. 401 with Victoria Park Avenue; thence southerly along said avenue to Sunrise Avenue; thence westerly along said avenue and its production to the Don River East Branch; thence generally southwesterly along said branch to Don Mills Road; thence northerly along said road to Overlea Boulevard; thence southwesterly along said boulevard to the Don River West Branch; thence generally northwesterly along said branch to Eglinton Avenue East; thence easterly along said avenue to Leslie Street; thence generally northerly along said street to Highway No. 401; thence easterly along said highway to the point of commencement.[2]
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.[3]
