context_page_description: Oak Ridges is an unincorporated community in Ontario, Canada, and has been part of Richmond Hill since 1971. It forms the northern portion of the municipality's boundary, where it borders Aurora. Located about 20 km north of Toronto, it has a population of 38,140. The town developed around Lake Wilcox, the largest lake in the area, and has continued to expand slowly since its annexation by the Town of Richmond Hill. In the 1990s, Oak Ridges experienced moderate growth, which spurred environmental action by numerous organizations. Population has grown significantly as a result of development initiatives along Bayview Avenue. The Oak Ridges Community Center was built and completed in June 2012 to accommodate community demand.
  It is located north of Richmond Hill proper, east of King City, immediately south of Aurora, and west of Whitchurch-Stouffville.
