Toronto municipal election, 1928


Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on January 1, 1928. Sam McBride was elected mayor, defeating incumbent Thomas Foster by a wide margin.

Thomas Foster had first been elected to city council in 1891 and was running for his fourth consecutive term as mayor. He was opposed by Sam McBride who had tried, but failed, to be elected mayor on three previous occasions.

There was only one change in the membership of the Board of Control. William D. Robbins regained the seat he had lost two years earlier to D.C. MacGregor.

Results taken from the January 2, 1928 Toronto Daily Star and might not exactly match final tallies.
