TORONTO – Councillors will vote to appoint a new representative for Ward 3 Etobicoke Centre at Toronto City Hall Thursday.
The seat was left vacant after Doug Holyday won a provincial byelection in August.
Councillors will hear from applicants, ask questions of applicants and vote to appoint a person to fill the spot.
At a special Etobicoke York Community Council meeting on Oct. 1, former MPP Chris Stockwell received support from Mayor Rob Ford and Councillor Doug Ford for the appointment.
Stockwell served as an Etobicoke councillor from 1982 until 1988 and then went on to represent the former riding of Etobicoke-West from 1990 until 2003 as an MPP at Queen’s Park. He was a cabinet minister under both Mike Harris and Ernie Eves.
The successful applicant will serve the remainder of the term of office that ends on November 30, 2014.
