About this ward
IncumbentJon BurnsideSeeking re-election
The Don Mills area and the neighbourhoods around it — Banbury-Don Mills, Flemingdon Park, Victoria Village, Parkwoods-O'Connor Hills and Fenside-Parkwoods. Don Mills was among Canada's first planned postwar communities, and the towers-in-parkland form it pioneered still shapes the ward: nearly 60 per cent of homes are in buildings of five storeys or more and more than half of households rent.
