Geography and Environmental Studies The idea towards a streamlined local government to control local infrastructure was made as early as 1907 by member of federal Parliament and founder of the Toronto Globe William Findlay Maclean who called for the expansion of the government of the former City of Toronto in order to create a Greater Toronto the idea for a single government municipality would not be seriously explored until the late 1940s when planners decided the city needed to incorporate its immediate suburbs However due to strong opposition from suburban politicians a compromise was struck which resulted in the creation of Metropolitan Toronto in 1953 the portion of York County south of Steeles Avenue a concession road and township boundary was severed from the county and incorporated as the Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto. With the concession of Metro Toronto the offices of York County were moved from Toronto to Newmarket Originally the membership in Metropolitan Toronto included the City of Toronto and five townships: East York Etobicoke North York Scarborough and York; as well as seven villages and towns which became amalgamated into their surrounding townships in 1967 the early Metro Toronto government debated over the annexation of surrounding townships of Markham Pickering and Vaughan the first Metro Toronto Chairman Frederick Goldwin Gardiner planned on the conversion of these townships into boroughs of the Metro Toronto government in 1971 the remaining areas of York County was replaced by the Ontario government with the Regional Municipality of York in 1974 Ontario and Durham Counties were reorganized to become the Regional Municipality of Durham; Pickering west of Rouge River was transferred to Scarborough at that time Peel County became Peel Region in 1974 as well in 1980 North York would be incorporated into a city with York following suit in 1983 and Etobicoke and Scarborough in 1984 although still part of the Metropolitan Toronto municipal government Satellite image of Toronto during the mid-1980s, Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory, 2 Defender Justin Morrow United States 4.1 Alumni King Township. . . Toronto Ontario Canada Business directory By the 1960s and 1970s the increased pollution caused frequent algal blooms to occur in the summer. These blooms killed large numbers of fish and left decomposing piles of filamentous algae and dead fish along the shores at times the blooms became so thick waves could not break Fish eating birds such as osprey bald eagle and cormorant were being poisoned by contaminated fish Since the 1960s and 1970s environmental concerns have forced a cleanup of industrial and municipal wastes Cleanup has been accomplished through better treatment plants tighter environmental regulations deindustrialization and increased public awareness Today Lake Ontario has recovered some of its pristine quality; for example walleye a fish species considered as a marker of clean water are now found However regional airshed pollution remains a concern the lake has also become an important sport fishery although with introduced species (Coho and Chinook salmon) rather than the native species Bald eagle and osprey populations are also beginning to recover Invasive species are a problem for Lake Ontario particularly lamprey and zebra mussels Lamprey are being controlled by poisoning in the juvenile stage in the streams where they breed Zebra mussels in particular are difficult to control and pose major challenges for the lake and its waterways Climate. . . ; .
