Joyce Trimmer (born November 10, 1927 in London, England) is a former Canadian politician. In 1988 she stood in the election for the mayor of Scarborough, Ontario, and won the election with 4800 more votes than the second place finisher, Norm Kelly. She held the position of mayor of Scarborough until her retirement from politics in 1994. After leaving politics, she chaired the Mike Harris Task Force on Bringing Common Sense to Metro[1], a committee set up by the provincial progressive conservative opposition to investigate reform to the Metro Toronto level of government in the run-up to the 1995 provincial election. She came to oppose the actions of the provincial government when it opted to amalgamate the six municipalities in Metro Toronto to a single city, and eliminate the former Metro Toronto government.
