Population: 58,920

Voter turnout in 2006 municipal election: 44 per cent

Ward 28 encompasses some of Toronto's most historic downtown neighbourhoods, from the St. Lawrence Market and the Distillery District to Cabbagetown, Corktown and the Toronto Islands.

It is also home to some of the city's lowest income neighbourhoods, namely, St. James Town and Regent Park.

According to the 2006 census, the ward is less ethnically diverse than other areas. Just over 52 per cent of the population list English as their mother tongue, compared to 49.6 per cent for the rest of the city.

The majority of the ward's population -- 74 per cent -- lives in high-rise apartments, compared to 38.8 per cent for the rest of Toronto.

Key Issues

Regent Park revitalization:The 15-year project is well underway, with tenants moving into the newly built mixed housing units. However, some residents have worried about being relocated south and further from services available in the area. Once the project is completed, the population density of the neighbourhood is expected to double.

Services:Many candidates have raised the issue of improving services provided by the city and better managing the city's budget. With so many people living in apartments, tenant rights are a perennial issue, as well as concerns about security, crime, public health and preservation of green space. As well, some community members are worried about maintaining the historical integrity of certain areas, especially in the face of intense new condominium construction.

Pan Am Games:When Toronto plays host to the games in 2015, the Pan/Parapan American Athletes' Village is planned for construction in the West Don Lands, an area in the ward which increasingly has been the focus of new development. The games could result in job creation in the ward in the next few years, and new housing and transportation options such as improved or expanded transit could also develop as a result of the games..
