Timeline

1937

Her uncle-in-law is Ward C. Pitfield, Jr. (1937-2017), who was chairman of brokerage firm Dominion Securities.

Another uncle-in-law, Senator Michael Pitfield, was clerk of the Privy Council under former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.

1954

Jane Pitfield, Toller (born c. 1954) is a former Toronto city councillor, representing one of the two Don Valley West wards.

1989

In 1989 she founded Concerned Citizens of Leaside to oppose a large development project.

She is also the author of Leaside, a history of the neighbourhood.

She is married to Robert H. Pitfield, a former senior executive with the Bank of Nova Scotia and now Executive Chairman of the Board, TravelEdge Group.

They have four children, three daughters and a son.

1994

In 1994, she was elected as a school board trustee in East York's Ward 4.

1997

In the first post-amalgamation election in 1997, she ran for city councillor in Ward 1, East York but came third behind winners Michael Prue and Case Ootes.

It was later decided, however, that the East York ward was too large for only two councillors.

A by-election was held to elect a third councillor and she won this race.

1999

In May 1999 she became chair of the East York Community Council.

2000

In November 2000 she was elected in a reorganized council in the riding/ward of Don Valley West.

2003

During the 2003 term of office she served as chair of the Works Committee.

After the 2003 election, Miller called in councillors to pick committee chair heads.

Pitfield says she did not get a call.

"So I called him", she said.

She asked to be chair of the works committee, and was appointed.

In the mid-term committee chair shuffle, Pitfield left the works and budget committees and joined the audit committee and co-chaired the aboriginal affairs committee.

Pitfield also stated that the Mayor should be known as the "Billion Dollar Man" for increasing the city's spending by $1.3 billion since he became mayor in 2003.

Miller responded by observing that Toronto's share of the new spending was only $275 million, with the remainder coming from the provincial and federal governments.

He later added that most of the spending "is new investment we've secured from provincial and federal government to meet the needs of our city in public transit, in housing, or the 58 new child care centres that we've opened in Toronto this month alone, in Toronto's poorest neighbourhoods".

Pitfield's campaign team included Michael Marzolini, pollster and strategist for former Liberal prime minister Jean Chrétien, and John Foden, Public Affairs consultant.

Ontario PC Party treasurer Vic Gupta, who was deputy campaign manager for John Tory's 2003 run for mayor, was on Pitfield's campaign team but bowed out in June 2006, and became lobbyist for the Toronto Port Authority.

2004

In 2004, she proposed a 9% water rate increase in early 2004, a higher figure than city staff had recommended.

Following intervention from the office of mayor David Miller, the increase was reduced to 6%.

Pitfield justified the proposed increase by saying, "This is not to be thought of as taxation. It's a user fee. If you want to pay less, you can use less."

2005

A Globe and Mail report from March 2005 indicated that Pitfield canvassed for Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario leader John Tory during his provincial by-election campaign in Dufferin—Peel—Wellington—Grey.

On November 29, 2005, Pitfield announced that she would run against mayor David Miller in the 2006 municipal election.

Pitfield promised to hold off on future tax increases and adopted the slogan, "Always think like a taxpayer".

2006

She ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Toronto in 2006.

She is currently the warden of Pontiac Regional County Municipality, Quebec.

A graduate of Queen's University, she worked for several years with Procter & Gamble.

In September 2006, Pitfield voted in favour of a bid by Toronto City Council to purchase a landfill site that she had previously spoken against.

She claimed that she voted yes in error and admitted to being embarrassed by her mistake.

She indicated that she would try to have her vote changed in the official records but wasn't able to reopen the debate to change her vote.

On September 29, the National Post released a survey conducted by Ipsos-Reid that suggested Pitfield was a stronger challenger to Miller than many people believed.

The poll showed that of decided voters, 55% would support Miller, while 40% would support Pitfield.

In the "absolutely certain" voter category, 51% would support Miller while 46% would support Pitfield.

2017

As of 2017, Pitfield was attempting to attract government funding to create a greenhouse in Gaultois, a small Newfoundland community.
