context_page_description: Rockcliffe-Smythe is a neighbourhood in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It was part of the former City of York before the amalgamation of Toronto in 1998. It is in Ward 5 in the City of Toronto.
  As with many neighbourhoods defined by the city, there are often more traditional names for pockets of the city. Directly north-east of Jane Street and St. Clair West is an area called Syme, named after George Syme Reeve of York West. Further to the east is another pocket called Harwood. Harwood is bordered by creek in almost all directions.
