1919 Toronto municipal election

Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1919. Mayor Tommy Church was elected to his fifth term of office in a row. This election also saw the creation of a new ward, Ward 8, covering the neighbourhood of East Toronto which had recently joined Toronto. The number of representatives for Ward 7 was also increased to three aldermen, like every other ward.
Toronto mayor.
Church had first been elected mayor in 1915 and had been re-elected every year since then. He was opposed by several serious opponents, most notably by Controller John O'Neill who was trying to become the first Roman Catholic to be elected mayor of Toronto. Two other important candidates ran, but failed to win much support. They were MP and future mayor Thomas Foster and former controller William Henry Shaw.
Board of Control.
O'Neill's decision to run for mayor opened one vacancy on the Board of Control. It was filled by former Controller R.H. Cameron who had run unsuccessfully for mayor the year previous.
