Dorothy Thomas

Dorothy Thomas, née Mikos was a Canadian politician who served on the Toronto City Council from 1972 to 1976 and from 1980 to 1985.

Thomas studied journalism at the University of Toronto and worked as an arts reporter at the Toronto Star before marrying film director Ralph Thomas.

Thomas and council colleague Dale Martin made national headlines in 1985 when, while attending a Federation of Canadian Municipalities conference in Calgary, they got into a war of words with Calgary mayor Ralph Klein about how ugly and poorly planned they perceived the city to be; Thomas was also quoted as calling Calgary City Hall an "abomination". Both Thomas and Martin later apologized for the comments. She also remained an active member of the New Democratic Party.

Thomas died of cancer on May 9, 2005.
