Kristyn Wong-Tam, former Toronto city council member, will make an announcement on Thursday about the upcoming municipal election in Ward 13, according to the latest source material. The details of the announcement have not been disclosed yet, but it will be accompanied by Ward 13 Toronto Centre candidate Curran Stikuts, along with labor and community leaders.
The event is scheduled to take place at 11 a.m. outside Toronto City Hall, and it will be live on CityNews 24/7. Wong-Tam, who served as an NDP MPP for the same region from 2022 to 2023, left her role at City Hall in 2022 after a 12-year tenure. The deadline for registering in the municipal election is set for 2 p.m. on Friday. On Wednesday, Paula Fletcher, the long-time incumbent councillor in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth, announced her withdrawal from the re-election race.
Sara Ehrhardt, a public school trustee for Toronto-Danforth, plans to register as a candidate for councillor in the ward, while former councillor Mike Layton is considering a return to municipal politics and will contest Ward 11 University-Rosedale, a position he previously held from 2018 to 2022. Nate Erskine-Smith, a former federal Beaches-East York MP, is also running to represent Ward 19, which he once represented at City Hall.
