**(Florence) June Marks**, née **Pacey** (1923–2008) was a Toronto community activist and politician.[1]

She first ran for city council in 1962 in Ward 2 but was defeated. She was elected on her second attempt in 1964 and, in 1966, won citywide election to the [Toronto Board of Control](/source/Toronto_Board_of_Control) and also served on [Metro Toronto Council](/source/Metro_Toronto_Council). When the Board of Control was abolished for the 1969 election she ran and won in Ward 6. She was defeated in the [1972 municipal election](/source/1972_Toronto_municipal_election). She ran federally for the [Progressive Conservatives](/source/Progressive_Conservative_Party_of_Canada) in [Spadina](/source/Spadina_(electoral_district)) in the [1974 federal election](/source/1974_Canadian_federal_election) but was defeated.

Marks was an advocate for improved housing in the downtown core and initiated a judicial probe into slum conditions in Toronto that resulted in more rigorous housing inspections.
