True Davidson
Jean Gertrude (True) Davidson, CM (1901 – September 18, 1978), the first mayor of the Borough of East York, Ontario, was one of Toronto’s most colourful politicians in a career spanning nearly 25 years. Fiery and independent, she was a peppery crusader in some of the biggest civic battles of the 1960s and was always quick to defend the interests of East York, a small post-war suburb often threatened with annexation. She had the hawk-like features to match her tenacious spirit, and was rarely seen in public without a colourful, exotic hat.
