Municipal elections were held in
Toronto, Ontario, Canada, on December 6, 1937.
Ralph Day was elected mayor defeating incumbent
William D. Robbins.
Toronto mayor
William D. Robbins had been appointed to the office of mayor a year and half previously. He was opposed by the much younger Controller Ralph Day. Day won by a significant margin, beating Robbins in all but two wards. Also running were fringe candidates Carlo Lamberti, a music teacher, and veteran Robert Harding.
There was one opening on the
Board of Control after Day chose to run for mayor. The race turned out to be a close contest between Alderman
Douglas McNish and prominent communist
Tim Buck with McNish winning by a few hundred votes. Further back was Alderman
Robert Hood Saunders.
