. . ; The earliest schools in Toronto were in private homes often run by members of the clergy Public funding for schools began with the establishment of the Home District Grammar School Notably it was not governed by an elected school board Voting for the city's first elected school board took place in 1816 following the passage of the Common School Act the board as per the regulations of the act had three members: Eli Playter Dr Thomas D Morrison and Jesse Ketchum the board governed the Common School at York which was located on the same grounds as the Grammar School However this lasted only four years before the school and its associated school board were shut down in favour of the creation of the Central School which was placed under the control of an unelected board and marked an attempt to bring public schools under Anglican religious control. Control of this board in Toronto was then subsumed under a provincial Board of Education in 1824 itself merged into the Council of King's College a body charged with obtaining a university for the province In 1831 Upper Canada College was created to replace the Home District Grammar School with state funding in the form of an initial crown lands grant of 6,000 acres later supplemented by an additional 60,000 acres in contrast common schools in this era the equivalent of today's elementary schools were woefully underfunded Funding for the schools was derived from the sale of crown lands but the lands chosen to support education were undesirable and couldn't command a high enough price to sustain the common schools in addition to undesirability the acreage devoted to funding the common schools initially granted in 1816 was later reduced by half These deficiencies began to be addressed by the School Act of 1844 and culminated in the creation of local public school boards across the province including the Toronto Public School Board The Toronto Public School Board, Congregational 4,253 2.1 Universities Kawartha Pine Ridge District School Board[c] Halton District School Board Peel District School Board Toronto District School Board York Region District School Board, Homicides Gun Hotel Prague 2nd. .

Thomas Talbot emigrated in 1791 where he became personal secretary to John Graves Simcoe Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada Talbot convinced the government to allow him to implement a land settlement scheme of 5,000 acres (2,000 ha) in Elgin County in the townships of Dunwich and Aldborough in 1803. According to his government agreement he was entitled to 200 acres (80 ha) for every settler who received 50 acres (20 ha); in this way he gained an estate of 20,000 acres (8,000 ha) Talbot's administration was regarded as despotic He was infamous for registering settlers' names on the local settlement map in pencil and if displeased erasing their entry Talbot's abuse of power was a contributing factor in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837 Crown and Clergy reserves. . .

There are occasional hilly areas; in particular midtown Toronto has a number of sharply sloping hills Lake Ontario remains occasionally visible from the peaks of these ridges as far north as Eglinton Avenue 7 to 8 kilometres (4.3 to 5.0 mi) inland The Scarborough Bluffs is an escarpment along the eastern portion of the Toronto waterfront which formed during the last glacial period The other major geographical feature of Toronto is its escarpments During the last ice age the lower part of Toronto was beneath Glacial Lake Iroquois Today a series of escarpments mark the lake's former boundary known as the "Iroquois Shoreline" the escarpments are most prominent from Victoria Park Avenue to the mouth of Highland Creek where they form the Scarborough Bluffs Other observable sections include the area near St Clair Avenue West between Bathurst Street and the Don River and north of Davenport Road from Caledonia to Spadina Road; the Casa Loma grounds sit above this escarpment The geography of the lakeshore is greatly changed since the first settlement of Toronto Much of the land on the north shore of the harbour is landfill filled in during the late 19th century Until then the lakefront docks (then known as wharves) were set back farther inland than today Much of the adjacent Port Lands on the east side of the harbour was a wetland filled in early in the 20th century the shoreline from the harbour west to the Humber River has been extended into the lake Further west landfill has been used to create extensions of land such as Humber Bay Park The Toronto Islands were a natural peninsula until a storm in 1858 severed their connection to the mainland, creating a channel to the harbour the peninsula was formed by longshore drift taking the sediments deposited along the Scarborough Bluffs shore and transporting them to the Islands area the other source of sediment for the Port Lands wetland and the peninsula was the deposition of the Don River which carved a wide valley through the sedimentary land of Toronto and deposited it in the shallow harbour the harbour and the channel of the Don River have been dredged numerous times for shipping the lower section of the Don River was straightened and channelled in the 19th century the former mouth drained into a wetland; today the Don drains into the harbour through a concrete waterway the Keating Channel Climate, 5 Education The Golden Horseshoe has been recognised as a geographic region since the 1950s but it was only on July 13 2004 that a report from the provincial Ministry of Public Infrastructure Renewal entitled Places to Grow coined the term Greater Golden Horseshoe extending the boundaries west to Waterloo Region north to Barrie/Simcoe County and northeast to the county and city of Peterborough a subsequent edition released February 16 2005 broadened the term further adding Brant Haldimand and Northumberland Counties to the now quasi-administrative region the Greater Golden Horseshoe region is officially designated in Ontario Regulation 416/05 under the Places to Grow Act the designation Greater Golden Horseshoe has legal significance with respect to taxation: in April 2017 the Government of Ontario announced plans to impose a 15 per cent Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) on non-Canadian citizens non-permanent residents and non-Canadian corporations (with exceptions or rebates for refugees qualifying students and certain people working in Ontario) buying residential properties containing one to six units in the Greater Golden Horseshoe (GGH) The provincial transit authority Metrolinx makes use of the term Greater Golden Horseshoe the Metrolinx definition is consistent with the original 2004 Places to Grow definition However the city and county of Peterborough is not included Demographics!
