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, Economy Sociology 2 Geography M The Great Toronto Fire of 1904 destroyed a large section of downtown Toronto but the city was quickly rebuilt the fire caused more than $10 million in damage and resulted in more stringent fire safety laws and expansion of the city's fire department The city received new European immigrant groups beginning in the late 19th century into the early 20th century particularly Germans French Italians and Jews from various parts of Eastern Europe They were soon followed by Russians Poles and other Eastern European nations in addition to Chinese entering from the West As the Irish before them many of these migrants lived in overcrowded shanty-type slums such as "the Ward" which was centred on Bay Street now the heart of the country's Financial District By 1934 the Toronto Stock Exchange emerged as the country's largest stock exchange As new migrants began to prosper they moved to better housing in other areas in what is now understood to be succession waves of settlement Despite its fast-paced growth by the 1920s Toronto's population and economic importance in Canada remained second to the much longer established Montreal Quebec However by 1934 the Toronto Stock Exchange had become the largest in the country In 1954 the City of Toronto and 12 surrounding municipalities were federated into a regional government known as Metropolitan Toronto the postwar boom had resulted in rapid suburban development and it was believed a coordinated land-use strategy and shared services would provide greater efficiency for the region the metropolitan government began to manage services that crossed municipal boundaries including highways police services water and public transit In that year a half-century after the Great Fire of 1904 disaster struck the city again when Hurricane Hazel brought intense winds and flash flooding in the Toronto area 81 people were killed nearly 1,900 families were left homeless and the hurricane caused more than CA$25 million in damage In 1967 the seven smallest municipalities of Metropolitan Toronto were merged with larger neighbours resulting in a six-municipality configuration that included the former city of Toronto and the surrounding municipalities of East York Etobicoke North York Scarborough and York Construction of First Canadian Place the operational headquarters of the Bank of Montreal in 1975 During the 1970s several Canadian financial institutions moved to Toronto In the decades after World War II refugees from war-torn Europe and Chinese job-seekers arrived as well as construction labourers particularly from Italy and Portugal Toronto's population grew to more than one million in 1951 when large-scale suburbanization began and doubled to two million by 1971 Following the elimination of racially based immigration policies by the late 1960s Toronto became a destination for immigrants from all parts of the world By the 1980s Toronto had surpassed Montreal as Canada's most populous city and chief economic hub During this time in part owing to the political uncertainty raised by the resurgence of the Quebec sovereignty movement many national and multinational corporations moved their head offices from Montreal to Toronto and Western Canadian cities In 1998 the Conservative provincial government led by Mike Harris dissolved the metropolitan government despite vigorous opposition from the component municipalities and overwhelming rejection in a municipal plebiscite All six municipalities were amalgamated into a single municipality creating the current City of Toronto the successor of the old City of Toronto North York mayor Mel Lastman became the first "megacity" mayor and the 62nd Mayor of Toronto John Tory is the current mayor 21st century. 1.2 Summer 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. 12.2 Friendship cities The American loss for the entire battle was officially reported as 52 killed and 254 wounded for the Army and 3 killed and 11 wounded for the Navy for a total of 55 killed and 265 wounded the majority of American casualties originated from the explosion at the fort's powder magazine An archaeological dig in 2012 unearthed evidence that the destruction of the magazine and the impact it had on American soldiers was a result of poor position and bad luck the Americans just happened to be at the exact distance of the shock wave and its debris field The British loss was officially reported by Sheaffe as 59 killed 34 wounded 43 wounded prisoners 10 captured and 7 missing for a total of 153 casualties. However historian Robert Malcomson has found this return to be inaccurate: it did not include militia sailors dockyard workers or Native Americans and was incorrect even as to the casualties of the regulars Malcomson demonstrates that the actual British loss was 82 killed 43 wounded 69 wounded prisoners 274 captured and 7 missing for a total of 475 casualties Surrender. .
