Field Name - Description/Definition AREA_ID - Internal geographic identifier AREA_NAME - Name of the former municipality OBJECTID - Internal unique object ID This data is a GIS file that outlines the geographical area of the former six municipalities in the City of Toronto. This data set is used for historical purposes and reflects the former level of municipal government that existed when the six former Municipalities where in place (i.e. Etobicoke, North York, Scarborough, York, East York and former Toronto). Today it is often referred to and sometimes still used by city divisions or citizens. This is the final version and has been retired and replaced with the ONE City of Toronto Boundary.

Tactile maps are designed with Braille, large text, and raised features for visually impaired and low vision users. The Tactile Maps of Canada collection includes: (a) Maps for Education: tactile maps showing the general geography of Canada, including the Tactile Atlas of Canada (maps of the provinces and territories showing political boundaries, lakes, rivers and major cities), and the Thematic Tactile Atlas of Canada (maps showing climatic regions, relief, forest types, physiographic regions, rock types, soil types, and vegetation). (b) Maps for Mobility: to help visually impaired persons navigate spaces and routes in major cities by providing information about streets, buildings and other features of a travel route in the downtown area of a city. (c) Maps for Transportation and Tourism: to assist visually impaired persons in planning travel to new destinations in Canada, showing how to get to a city, and streets in the downtown area.

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.

Ravine & Natural Feature Protection area and limit as regulated by City of Toronto Municipal Code Chapter 658 - Ravine & Natural Feature Protection. Please note: Dataset is limited to the City of Toronto geographical boundary. Dataset works best if you open it with GIS/CAD software and reference these layers: City of Toronto Street Centreline, Address Points and Property Boundaries. If your original design drawing has been created without a coordinate system, you will need to reference the city's datasets and then move, scale and/or rotate your data to line up with the property limits for the property you are working with.

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.
