Revision as of 21:53, 18 August 2006 by Pete Peters (talk | contribs) (typo)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Sylvia Watson is a Canadian politician. She is a Toronto City Councillor for ward 14, part of the riding of Parkdale-High Park. Watson was elected in the 2003 municipal election replacing the long serving Chris Korwin-Kuczynski who retired from politics. She handily beat a field of seven other candidates.
Prior to being elected, Watson was a city employee with the Legal Department. Watson's voting record has positioned her as left-leaning, supporting many of mayor David Miller's initiatives. Her support has garnered her influential positions on city committees including chair of the Administration Committee.
However, in 2004 she broke with progressive ranks, and voted against a citywide pesticide ban, despite the recommendation of the citiy's medical officer of health.
In June 2006, Watson withdrew her candidacy for re-election to city council in order to run as a Ontario Liberal Party candidate to succeed Gerard Kennedy in the upcoming Parkdale—High Park by-election.
