Thanks to its vast hinterland Toronto designers have had access to a wide array of raw materials for construction Due to the clay sediments of the former lake bed that Toronto is built upon and but more prominently the shale layer underlying this area of North America brick has been an especially cheap and available material for almost the city's entire history Much of it was provided by the Don Valley Brick Works Domtar's brick division Canada Brick and Brampton Brick whose output can still be found in thousands of structures across the city and throughout the surrounding regions Throughout the city most homes from all eras are made of brick Commercial and industrial builders also long embraced brick with the Distillery District being a prominent example though today more efficient materials such as cinder blocks are more common for commercial projects Prominent landmarks have also gone to greater expense and generally eschewed simple brick Older banks and government buildings used stone and modern attempts to marvel have embraced modern materials such as concrete and aluminum in addition to extensive glazing Even today the overwhelming bulk of residential buildings constructed in Toronto are clad in brick Sandstone was also historically a readily available building material with large deposits quarried from the Credit River valley More expensive than brick but more ornate it was used for many early landmarks such as the Ontario Legislature Old City Hall and Victoria College It is also the main material used in the unique Annex style house Industrial architecture, 6 Team and league honours 3 Demographics, 3.1 War of 1812 3.3 Upper Canada As part of the 1763 Treaty of Paris which ended the Seven Years' War global conflict and the French and Indian War in North America Great Britain retained control over the former New France which had been defeated in the French and Indian War the British had won control after Fort Niagara had surrendered in 1759 and Montreal capitulated in 1760 and the British under Robert Rogers took formal control of the Great Lakes region in 1760. Fort Michilimackinac was occupied by Roger's forces in 1761 The territories of contemporary southern Ontario and southern Quebec were initially maintained as the single Province of Quebec as it had been under the French From 1763 to 1791 the Province of Quebec maintained its French language cultural behavioural expectations practices and laws the British passed the Quebec Act in 1774 which expanded the Quebec colony's authority to include part of the Indian Reserve to the west (i.e parts of southern Ontario) and other western territories south of the Great Lakes including much of what would become the United States' Northwest Territory including the modern states of Illinois Indiana Michigan Ohio Wisconsin and parts of Minnesota After the American War of Independence ended in 1783 Britain retained control of the area north of the Ohio River the official boundaries remained undefined until 1795 and the Jay Treaty the British authorities encouraged the movement of people to this area from the United States offering free land to encourage population growth for settlers the head of the family received 100 acres (40 ha) and 50 acres (20 ha) per family member and soldiers received larger grants. These settlers are known as United Empire Loyalists and were primarily English-speaking Protestants the first townships (Royal and Cataraqui) along the St Lawrence and eastern Lake Ontario were laid out in 1784 populated mainly with decommissioned soldiers and their families "Upper Canada" became a political entity on 26 December 1791 with the Parliament of Great Britain's passage of the Constitutional Act of 1791 the act divided the Province of Quebec into Upper and Lower Canada but did not yet specify official borders for Upper Canada the division was effected so that Loyalist American settlers and British immigrants in Upper Canada could have English laws and institutions and the French-speaking population of Lower Canada could maintain French civil law and the Catholic religion the first lieutenant-governor was John Graves Simcoe.[circular reference]. 9.3.2 MLS MVP International student 3.3% 9.8%, The City of Toronto was incorporated in 1834 succeeding York which was administered directly by the then-province of Upper Canada the new city was administered by an elected council which served a one-year term the first mayor chosen by the elected councillors was William Lyon Mackenzie the first law passed was "an Act for the preventing & extinguishing of Fires" the first mayor directly elected to the post was Adam Wilson elected in 1859 Through 1955 the term of office for the mayor and council was one year; it then varied between two and three years until a four-year term was adopted starting in 2006 (See List of Toronto municipal elections.), Father Henry Carr Catholic Secondary School (Etobicoke 1974 - Basilian Fathers).
