Ward Profiles, 2018 (47-Ward Model)

 

The [2016 Ward Profiles for the 2018 City Wards](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/ward-profiles/ward-profiles-2018/) (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](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/ward-profiles/ward-profiles-2018/).

Ward Profiles, 2014-2018 Wards (44-Ward Model)

 

The 2016 and 2011 Ward Profiles (2014-2018 Wards) and Community Council Area Profiles 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. 

 

Each Ward Profile and Community Council Area Profile provides a portrait of the population and households in each Ward and Community Council Area. 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. 

 

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.  As a result, older 2011 Ward Profiles contain similar demographic information as the 2016 Ward Profiles, except that the information is in two different Profile documents for each Ward. The 2011 Census Profiles contain information from the Census short form on population by age, households and dwelling types, families, and language groups.  The 2011 National Household Survey Profiles contain information on household tenure and period of construction; immigration and mobility; ethnic origin and visible minorities; education and labour force; income and shelter costs.

 

In 2016, Statistics Canada restored the mandatory long-form Census. These changes make it difficult to compare 2011 and 2016 Census year data.

Historic Rain Gauge Locations and Precipitation

**This dataset is no longer being maintained. Please see [Rain Gauge Locations and Precipitation](https://open.toronto.ca/dataset/rain-gauge-locations-and-precipitation/) for the latest updates.**

This dataset contains historic rain data across the city during the wet weather season as well as locations of all rain gauge equipment. Rain data was typically collected from early April to the end of October. Over the many decades that the program has been active, locations, equipment, measuring frequency, rain gauge ID, personnel conducting maintenance and calibration and a number of other factors have varied as reflected in the dataset.

Toronto Water does not make any claims as to the accuracy and completeness of the dataset. See readme file for further explaination. 

**Limitations:**

The data provided by the City is for your information only. The City does not warrant accuracy of the data and will not take any liability. Precipitation data can be impacted by a number of factors including: non-functioning equipment, uncalibrated equipment, vandalized equipment, jamming of the equipment (fallen leaves and twigs), errors in collection, errors in transfer of data, error in downloading and posting of data, and interference to the natural flow of air from adjacent structures (buildings, trees, etc.). The consistency of dataset format is dependent on the program software used to translate, retrieve and view the data.

Woodbine Racetrack Casino Consultation 2015


The City Manager conducted a public consultation in May 2015 to seek input from Torontonians on the matter of expanded gaming at Woodbine Racetrack.  This data set contains input from the public consultation delivered by Ipsos Reid for the City of Toronto between May 6 and May 29, 2015. The purpose of posting this dataset is to create a record of the consultation and the public's views from an online questionnaire, and a city-wide public opinion telephone survey.

**Telephone Survey**

  * A telephone survey was conducted among a representative sample of 701 adult Toronto residents between May 15-28, 2015. The margin of error for a sample of this size is plus or minus 3.7 percentage points (at the 95% confidence level).
  * The data was statistically weighted to ensure the sample's regional, age and gender composition reflects that of the actual Toronto population according to 2011 census data.
  * In addition to the representative sample of 701 interviews, 200 interviews were conducted with residents who live in North Etobicoke (M9W and M9V) in order to boost the sample size of residents who live in the area of the Woodbine Racetrack.
  * The survey was conducted using live interviews (CATI) and was executed using random digit dialing (RDD) . The representative sample frame included both landline and cellphone households.
  * The average interview length was 14.4 minutes.
  * The overall response rate to the survey was 9.2%. The response rate was calculated using the formula developed by the Marketing Research and Intelligence Association (MRIA) in conjunction with the Government of Canada. Throughout the report totals may not add to 100% due to rounding or because the question is a multi-select question, where respondents were permitted to choose more than one response.



 

**Online Survey**

  * The online survey was posted to the Woodbine Racetrack Casino Consultation Page. The survey was open between May 6 and 29, 2015.
  * The survey was open to anybody who chose to complete it and therefore, the sample of those who completed it and their opinions should not be viewed as statistically representative of the residents of Toronto. This information was collected to assist the City to better understand the positions and interest of Torontonians.
  * A total of n=465 survey were completed.
  * The data was not statistically weighted.
  * Throughout the report totals may not add to 100% due to rounding or because the question was a multi-select question, where respondents were permitted to choose more than one response.
