Results

Official results from the City's poll-by-poll releases. Money raised per vote received divides contributions by votes — it is not what the campaign spent, because the archive holds contributions and not expenses.

When corporate and union money was allowed

Corporate and union contributions were still legal in the 2006 Toronto election. They were banned for city council and mayoral campaigns starting in 2010.

But that ban did not cover school board trustee campaigns. They kept accepting corporate and union contributions until a province-wide ban took effect for the 2018 election.

Third party advertisers, which were required to register starting in 2018, can still accept corporate and union contributions.

A small number of corporate contributions to council campaigns exists in the database after the ban. Some may have been for goods and services, or improperly recorded. The data doesn't tell us.

This candidate ran for council or mayor only, so any corporate or union money here should fall in 2006.

Largest contributors

Across every campaign. A contributor is identified by their full name and postal code together; 8 of these gave in more than one election. Rows marked “combined” bring together records filed under different spellings or postal codes, matched by hand. Individuals are shown by postal area only; organizations in full.

Where the money came from

By forward sortation area — the first three characters of the postal code, which is the finest geography the City publishes for individual donors. Shading is by quantile, so each band holds a fifth of the areas with money: contribution totals are skewed enough that equal dollar intervals would put almost every area in the lightest band.

50 of 96 Toronto postal areas have contributions on record. 1 Toronto code has no shape on the map because nobody lives there, carrying $200. Statistics Canada draws only areas with residents, and downtown office towers such as M5X have none. Another 2 codes carrying $950 are not real postal areas at all, most likely typing errors in the filings. Boundaries adapted from Statistics Canada, 2021 Census cartographic boundary files.
