About William Dennison

William Donald Dennison was a Canadian politician who served as the 55th mayor of Toronto from 1967 to 1972. Dennison was first elected as an alderman on Toronto City Council in 1941. A member of the Co-operative Commonwealth Federation (CCF), he was elected to be the member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) for St. David from 1943 to 1945 and 1948 to 1951.
