Almost every community in the GTA is currently experiencing a decrease in the acreage of farmland with Mississauga seeing the most significant the only communities in the GTA which are experiencing a growth in the acreage of farmland are Aurora Georgina Newmarket Oshawa Richmond Hill and Scugog with Markham experiencing neither any growth nor decline. Most of the GTA's farmland is in Durham Region with 55% of their total land area being farmland This is followed by York Region with 41% of their lands being farmland Peel Region with 34% and Halton Region with 41%. Toronto's remaining farmland is completely within Rouge Park in the Rouge Valley the average size of the farm in the GTA (74 hectares (183 acres)) is much lower than the farms in the rest of Ontario (averaging 233 acres (0.94 km2)) This has been attributed to the shift of farm types in the GTA from the traditional livestock and cash crop farms (requiring an extensive land base) towards more intensive enterprises including greenhouse floriculture nursery vegetable fruit sheep and goats The most numerous farms types in the GTA are miscellaneous specialty farms (including horse and pony sheep and lamb and other livestock specialty) followed by cattle grain and oilseed dairy and field crop farms. Although the output of dairy production has dropped with farms from within the GTA dairy has remained the most productive sector in the agricultural industry by annual gross farm receipts. Despite the decreased amount of farmland around the region farm capital value increased from $5.2 billion in 1996 to $6.1 billion in 2001 making the average farm capital value in the GTA continued to be the highest in the province Infrastructure. 5.2 Post-secondary educational institutions 3.2 European contact 33 Canada Frederik Gauthier C L 24 2013 Laval Quebec, Main article: Health in Toronto Transportation routes in Ontario evolved from early waterway travel and First Nations paths followed by European explorers Ontario has two major east-west routes both starting from Montreal in the neighbouring province of Quebec the northerly route which was a major fur trade route travels west from Montreal along the Ottawa River then continues northwestward towards Manitoba Major cities on or near the route include Ottawa North Bay Sudbury Sault Ste Marie and Thunder Bay the southerly route which was driven by growth in settlements originated by the United Empire Loyalists and later other European immigrants travels southwest from Montreal along the St Lawrence River Lake Ontario and Lake Erie before entering the United States in Michigan Major cities on or near the route include Kingston Belleville Peterborough Oshawa Toronto Mississauga Kitchener-Waterloo Hamilton London Sarnia and Windsor This route was also heavily used by immigrants to the Midwestern US particularly in the late 19th century Roads.
