After more than a decade with the same municipal representation, change is guaranteed in Toronto's ward 20 during the upcoming Scarborough Southwest byelection.

Voters in Scarborough Southwest are heading to the polls Thursday to choose the ward's new city councillor from a field of 23 candidates. Polling stations are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Calling city council's $1-billion decision to reconstruct the Gardiner Expressway East the biggest "financial fiasco" of the last eight years, mayoral candidate Gil Penalosa says that if elected, he would instead build a boulevard on the valuable land.

CBC Toronto asked every mayoral candidate six key questions about why they're running and what direction they'd take the city in. Here are their responses.

Five candidates vying to be mayor of Toronto are squaring off in the second major debate of the campaign on Monday afternoon. Torontonians will cast their ballots on Oct. 24.

Tory, Gil Penalosa, Chloe Brown, Sarah Climenhaga and Jack Yan squared off in the debate, which was organized by the seniors' group CARP and broad by Zoomer.
