John Filion (/ˈfɪliən/ FIL-ee-ən; born 1950) is a former Toronto city councillor represented Ward 18 Willowdale.[1] Although he had planned to retire in 2018, after the legislation from Premier Doug Ford which expanded ward boundaries, he decided to run for re-election because he believes it makes it "virtually impossible for a community activist, known within one area, to get elected".[2] He announced on June 10, 2022, that he would not be running in the October 2022 Toronto municipal election, retiring after 40 years in municipal politics. He was considered a "rare suburban progressive" on Toronto council.[3]
