The ward was created in 2018 when the provincial government aligned Toronto's then-44 municipal wards with the 25 corresponding provincial and federal ridings.[1][2] The current ward is an amalgamation of the old Ward 11 (western section), the old Ward 12 (eastern section).[3][4]
Ward 5 York South—Weston was first contested during the 2018 municipal election. Ward-12 incumbent Frank Di Giorgio, who served as budget chief under former mayor Rob Ford ran against Ward 11 incumbent and council speaker Frances Nunziata, and nine other candidates. Nunziata was ultimately elected with 44.55 per cent of the vote.[3][5]
In 2022, Nunziata narrowly secured re-election in a tightly-contested race against progressive candidate Chiara Padovani, who was endorsed by Progress Toronto and the Toronto & York Region Labour Council. Nunziata prevailed over Padovani by a margin of 94 votes.
York South—Weston is part of the Etobicoke/York community council.[6]
The ward is largely made up of what was the former city of York prior to Metro Toronto's 1998 amalgamation. It is bordered to the west by the Humber River and the east by a Canadian National Railway track. The north boundary is Highway 401 and the south boundary is a Canadian Pacific Railway track.[3]
