Stephen Holyday is a Canadian politician who has served on Toronto City Council since 2014. He is currently the deputy speaker and represents Ward 2 Etobicoke Centre.[1][2] He was first elected in the old Ward 3 Etobicoke Centre during the 2014 municipal election.
Background[edit]
Holyday was born in Toronto, Ontario. He is the son of Doug Holyday who previously represented the ward, served as Mayor of Etobicoke,[3] and was briefly a member of Provincial Parliament (MPP).[citation needed] He and his wife Margaret have three children.[4]
Alex Bozikovic, The Globe and Mail's architecture critic, called Holyday "furiously anti-development".[5] He has also been described as one of "three Toronto councillors hopelessly exacerbating the housing crisis" by More Neighbours Toronto.[6]
