This data set contains input from the Community Council boundaries consultation held between May 3 and May 27, 2018 by the City of Toronto. The purpose of posting this dataset is to create a record of the consultation and the public's views, in a respectful way without offensive or otherwise inappropriate content, and to protect the City from legal liability. The data set has been reviewed to ensure that the content does not: 1. Contravene the City's policies or applicable laws related to anti-discrimination, human rights or privacy; 2. Include information that identifies an individual other than one acting in an official capacity, nor any comments that are personal attacks on someone's character, personal or business affairs, etc.; 3. Address an issue before the courts or outside of the City's jurisdiction, or comments on another organization or private company; 4. Contain unsubstantiated rumours or potentially libellous statements; 5. Contain obscenities, derogatory, insulting, offensive, violent or hateful language; 6. Include any email addresses, attachments, or web links. In cases where such comments are found, only the language that contradicts the policy is removed by staff -- the remainder of the comments remains in the data set. The Community Council boundary feedback survey received 619 partial and complete responses and an additional four submissions by email. The purpose of the survey was to collect input on an Options Paper, which was developed by staff and provided information on Community Councils, highlighted three primary, and five alternative models, and asked what issues or considerations would support the selection of a final model for Council's consideration. In addition to collecting information on a preferred model, the consultation sought public input on why one model was thought to be better than another, what geographic considerations would contribute to an effective Community Council, the impact changing the boundaries would have on respondents, and whether or not respondents had previously attended a Community Council meeting. This survey is not a vote. Public and stakeholders opinions, along with technical and policy considerations will all be used to inform City staff recommendations and decisions to be made by City Council. The survey was available in English, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Urdu, Korean, Chinese Simplified, Panjabi, Tagolog and Tamil. A small number of survey responses (25) were received on paper and entered in by City staff. One Tamil response was received and translated into English for analysis. The data published here includes both complete and incomplete surveys. Further explanation in the readme file and available on request.

Please note that this dataset is not an official City of Toronto land use dataset. It was created for personal and academic use using City of Toronto Land Use Maps (2019) found on the City of Toronto Official Plan website at https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/planning-development/official-plan-guidelines/official-plan/official-plan-maps-copy, along with the City of Toronto parcel fabric (Property Boundaries) found at https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/property-boundaries/ and Statistics Canada Census Dissemination Blocks level boundary files (2016). The property boundaries used were dated November 11, 2021.

The 2016 Ward Profiles for the 2018 City Wards (47-Ward Model) are available from City Planning through the online Toronto Data, Research & Maps portal. These workbooks contain the data in these Profiles. These Profiles provide demographic, social and economic information for each Ward in the City of Toronto. The 2016 Census Profiles contain 2016 Census data and select 2011 Census and National Household Survey data for the 47-Ward model. City Council voted in favour of a 47-Ward model for the 2018-2022 term of Council based on the results of the Toronto Ward Boundary Review. On July 30, 2018, the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 5, the Better Local Government Act, 2018. This legislation reduces the number of Toronto City wards from 47 to 25 with the boundaries aligning with current federal and provincial electoral ridings. These changes are being put in place for the October 22, 2018 municipal election. Each Ward Profile provides a portrait of the population and households in each Ward. The 2016 Ward Profiles contain information on population by age; households and dwelling types; families; language group; household tenure and period of construction; immigration and mobility; ethnic origin and visible minorities; education and labour force; income and shelter cost. The 2016 Ward Profiles also include select 2011 Census and National Household Survey data. The 2011 to 2016 comparison topics include population, dwellings and families. Including profile information from 2011, from before the 47-Ward model existed, enables a better understanding of recent growth trends and key demographic indicators for each Ward in the 47-Ward model. In 2011, there were changes in the way information was collected for the 2011 Census. The information previously collected by the Census long form was collected as part of the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS) by Statistics Canada. In 2016, Statistics Canada restored the mandatory long-form Census. These changes make it difficult to compare 2011 and 2016 Census year data. In general, the 2011 NHS data is less comparable to that of all Censuses prior to 2011, and the 2016 Census. The results of the long-form Census are considered to be more reliable than those the 2011 National Household Survey. For more information, please see the Census Glossary and Notes, and the National Household Survey Glossary in the Ward Profile portal.
