Jennifer McKelvie (née Gray; born 1977) is a Canadian politician and geoscientist who has served as deputy mayor of Toronto since November 16, 2022, representing Scarborough. McKelvie has represented Ward 25 Scarborough—Rouge Park on the Toronto City Council since 2018.
In the 2014 Toronto municipal election, she was a candidate in the now defunct Ward 44, and came within less than 600 votes of defeating then long-time incumbent Ron Moeser.[1] Ron Moeser died before the following election.
As the statutory deputy mayor, McKelvie assumed certain mayoral powers following the resignation of John Tory on February 17, 2023, and remained the highest-ranking official in the city until the swearing-in of Olivia Chow as mayor on July 12, 2023, following the 2023 Toronto mayoral by-election. Under Chow, McKelvie has continued in her role as deputy mayor, serving in an honorary capacity and representing Scarborough.
