In the 2011 census 84% of provincial residents reported themselves as Christian: 52% were Roman Catholic 8% Baptist 8% United Church of Canada and 7% Anglican Fifteen percent of residents reported no religion Economy, The Greater Toronto Area is served by seven distinct telephone area codes Before 1993 the GTA used the 416 area code In a 1993 zone split Metropolitan Toronto retained the 416 code while the other municipalities of the Greater Toronto Area were assigned the new area code 905. This division by area code has become part of the local culture to the point where local media refer to something inside Toronto as "the 416" and outside of Toronto as "the 905" for example the Raptors 905 basketball team in the NBA G League is named after the area code the team represents Though for the most part the use of the area 905 as shorthand for the suburban areas outside Toronto city limits was correct it is not entirely true as some portions of Durham and York Regions use the 705 area code. Furthermore there are areas such as Hamilton the Regional Municipality of Niagara and Port Hope (in Northumberland County) that use the 905 area code but are not part of the GTA the unincorporated community of Acton (in Halton Hills) is the only community in the GTA that uses the 519 area code which covers most of Southwestern Ontario To meet the increased demand for phone numbers two overlay area codes were introduced in 2001 Area code 647 (supplementing the 416 area code) was introduced in March 2001 and area code 289 (supplementing the 905 area code) was introduced in July 2001. Some individuals within the 905 area code region may have to dial long distance to reach each other; although residents of Mississauga and Hamilton share the same area code (905) an individual from Toronto for example would have to dial "1" to reach Hamilton but not to reach Mississauga Ten-digit telephone dialling including the area code for local calls is required throughout the GTA in March 2013 two additional area codes were introduced to the GTA: area code 437 in Toronto and area code 365 in the area served by 905 and 289 Government. 6.2 Allegations of UNDP resources used by Hamas The Sharon Temple built by the Children of Peace Vaughan 182,022 238,866 288,301 306,233 Federal election results; 7 Notes Lord Dorchester People celebrating the incorporation of Toronto in 1834 the Town of York was incorporated as the new City of Toronto The town was incorporated on March 6 1834 reverting to the name of "Toronto" to distinguish it from New York City as well as about a dozen other localities named 'York' in the province (including York County in which Toronto was situated) and to disassociate itself from the negative connotation of dirty Little York a common nickname for the town by its residents William Lyon Mackenzie was its first mayor The new Reform-dominated municipal council quickly set to work to correct the problems left unchecked by the old Court of Quarter Sessions Unsurprisingly for "Muddy York" the new civic corporation made roads a priority This ambitious road improvement scheme put the new council in a difficult position; good roads were expensive yet the incorporation bill had limited the ability of the council to raise taxes An inequitable taxation system placed an unfair burden on the poorer members of the community Mackenzie decided to take the matter directly to the citizens and called a public meeting at the Market Square on July 29 1834 "for six that being the hour at which the Mechanicks and labouring classes can most conveniently attend without breaking on a day's labour." Mackenzie met with organized resistance as the newly resurrected "British Constitutional Society" with William H Draper as president Tory aldermen Carfrae Monro and Denison as vice-presidents and common councilman and newspaper publisher George Gurnett as secretary met the night before and "from 150 to 200 of the most respectable portion of the community assembled and unanimously resolved to meet the Mayor upon his own invitation." Sheriff William Jarvis took over the meeting and interrupted Mayor Mackenzie "to propose to the Meeting a vote of censure on his conduct as Mayor." in the resulting pandemonium the two sides agreed that they would hold a second meeting the next day In 1837 a revolutionary insurrection was crushed by British authorities and Canadian volunteer units at Montgomery's Tavern on Yonge Street The Tories called the meeting for three in the afternoon so that the working class "mechanics" would not be able to attend the inability of the mechanics to attend was their saving grace for the meeting ended in a terrible tragedy when the packed gallery overlooking Market Square collapsed pitching the onlookers into the butcher's stalls below killing four and injuring dozens the Tory press immediately placed the blame on Mackenzie even though he didn't attend the Toronto mechanics ironically spared the carnage because of the hour at which the meeting was appointed did not appear to be swayed by the Tory press in the October 1834 provincial elections Mackenzie was overwhelmingly elected in the second riding of York; Sheriff William Jarvis running in the city of Toronto lost to reformer James Edward Small by the slim margin of 252 to 260 votes Toronto was the site of the key events of the Upper Canada Rebellion in 1837 led by Mackenzie In 1841 the first gas street lamps appeared in Toronto Over 100 were installed that year in time for author Charles Dickens' visit in May 1842 Dickens described Toronto as "full of life motion business and improvement the streets are well-paved and lighted with gas." Dickens was on a North American tour View of Toronto looking west from King and Jarvis in 1845 the buildings right of the trees were later destroyed in the Great Fire of 1849 During the Typhus epidemic of 1847 863 Irish immigrants died of typhus at fever sheds built at the Toronto Hospital at the northwest corner of King Street and John Street the epidemic also killed the first Bishop of Toronto Michael Power while providing care and ministering to Irish immigrants fleeing the Great Famine The April 7 1849 Cathedral Fire destroyed the "Market Block" north of Market Square and St Lawrence Market as well as the first St James' Cathedral and a portion of Toronto's first City Hall While Toronto had a firefighting brigade and two fire halls the force could not stop the large fire and many businesses were lost a period of rebuilding followed After the Upper Canada Rebellion resentments between the ruling factions of the Family Compact and the Reform elements in Toronto continued as Irish and other Catholics migrated to Toronto and became a larger part of the population the Orange Order representing Protestant elements loyal to the British Crown fought to keep control of the ruling government and civil services the police constabulary and the fire departments were controlled through patronage and were under Orange control Orange elements were known to use violence against Catholics and Reformers and were immune to prosecution it would not be until the 20th Century that Toronto would have its first Catholic mayor Latter 19th century!
