As the city marks its 175th Anniversary this year, it is important to remember that not all of Toronto began life within the original city limits. To the west, north, and east, there were many other villages and towns with distinct character, each with its own stories to tell. This May 1st marked the 100th Anniversary of when the previously independent City of West Toronto joined Toronto and became the new ward.
