Vincent Crisanti is a long-serving member of Toronto City Council, having previously served as Councillor for Ward 1 – Etobicoke North for three terms (from 2010 to 2018, and in 1995 prior to amalgamation). In 2022, he won a decisive mandate to serve the community for a fourth term. Vincent sits on various committees and boards, including the Mayor’s Planning and Housing Committee, Audit Committee, and the Board of Governors of Exhibition Place.

Committed to providing exceptional service for his constituents and making Etobicoke North a better place to work and call home, his track record includes spearheading the revitalization of the Woodbine Racetrack and advocating for the extension of the Finch West Light Rail Transit to the Etobicoke North GO Station – connecting residents to better and more efficient transit. Vincent is a strong advocate for safe and healthy communities, dependable transit, infrastructure investment, job creation and economic growth, and fiscal responsibility.
