Mike Layton seeks return to Toronto city council after 4-year hiatus

TORONTO - Mike Layton aims to return to Toronto city council following a four-year absence from municipal politics. First annual payment of $205 plus GST for one year. Layton is seeking his University-Rosedale seat, which he held from 2010 to 2022. He stepped away to spend time with his family, as his children now have bigger questions about affordable housing and education.

Layton, the son of former NDP leader Jack Layton and stepson of Mayor Olivia Chow, plans to focus on expanding affordable housing, improving transit, and installing rooftop solar panels upon re-election. He is running against incumbent Dianne Saxe among ten other candidates in Ward 11.
