Municipal elections were held in Toronto, Canada, on December 3, 1962. Incumbent mayor Nathan Phillips, then the longest serving mayor in Toronto history, lost to Controller Donald Summerville by a significant margin. Two major referendums were also held in Metro Toronto. The most controversial was over water fluoridation, which passed by a slim margin of 166,960 to 163,240. The areas outside Toronto also voted to remove some of the last of the Blue Laws by allowing movies to be shown on Sundays, something that was already allowed in the city itself. ==Toronto mayor== Phillips had first been elected to city council in 1926 and was elected mayor in 1954. He had won an unprecedented four elections to become the longest serving mayor in Toronto history. Summerville was much younger and had first been elected to council in 1955, representing the eastern Beaches area. One of the central issues of the campaign was a desire for change and a more youthful mayor. Summerville won by large margin more than doubling Phillips' total. Summerville won every ward in the city, including Phillips' former area. Less than a year into his term Summerville died of a heart attack while playing hockey, and was replaced by Controller Philip Givens. ;Results :Donald Summerville - 117,031 :Nathan Phillips (incumbent) - 51,933 :Nasso - 4,966 :Ross Dowson - 1,119 :Bradley - 815 :Mahoney - 406 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Toronto municipal election, 1962」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
