Ward 3 Etobicoke—Lakeshore is a municipal electoral division in Etobicoke, Toronto, Ontario that has been represented in the Toronto City Council since the 2018 municipal election. It was last contested in 2022, with Amber Morley elected councillor.
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 5 (northern section), the old Ward 6 (southern section).[3] [4]
Amber Morley was elected to represent Ward 3 in the 2022 municipal election.[5] She defeated Mark Grimes, the only defeat of an incumbent councillor who was running for reelection in 2022.[5]
Ward 3 was first contested during the 2018 municipal election. Then-Ward 6 incumbent Mark Grimes was elected with 40.9 per cent of the vote.[6]
Etobicoke—Lakeshore is part of the Etobicoke and York community council.[7]
The ward occupies the southwestern part of Toronto. It is roughly bordered on the west by the Etobicoke Creek, and on the east by the Humber River. On the north, Ward 3 is roughly bordered by Bloor Street, Kipling Avenue, the Mimico Creek and Dundas Street, and on the south by Lake Ontario.
