Ward Profiles, 2018 (47-Ward Model)
City Planning
cityplanning@toronto.ca — 2019-07-23 The [2016 Ward Profiles for the 2018 City Wards](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/ward-profiles/ward-profiles-2018/) (47-Ward Model) are available from City Planning through the online Toronto Data, Research & Maps portal. These workbooks contain the data in these Profiles. These Profiles provide demographic, social and economic information for each Ward in the City of Toronto. The 2016 Census Profiles contain 2016 Census data and select 2011 Census and National Household Survey data for the 47-Ward model. City Council voted in favour of a 47-Ward model for the 2018-2022 term of Council based on the results of the Toronto Ward Boundary Review. On July 30, 2018, the Province of Ontario introduced Bill 5, the Better Local Government Act, 2018. This legislation reduces the number of Toronto City wards from 47 to 25 with the boundaries aligning with current federal and provincial electoral ridings. These changes are being put in place for the October 22, 2018 municipal election. Each Ward Profile provides a portrait of the population and households in each Ward. The 2016 Ward Profiles contain information on population by age; households and dwelling types; families; language group; household tenure and period of construction; immigration and mobility; ethnic origin and visible minorities; education and labour force; income and shelter cost. The 2016 Ward Profiles also include select 2011 Census and National Household Survey data. The 2011 to 2016 comparison topics include population, dwellings and families. Including profile information from 2011, from before the 47-Ward model existed, enables a better understanding of recent growth trends and key demographic indicators for each Ward in the 47-Ward model. In 2011, there were changes in the way information was collected for the 2011 Census. The information previously collected by the Census long form was collected as part of the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS) by Statistics Canada. In 2016, Statistics Canada restored the mandatory long-form Census. These changes make it difficult to compare 2011 and 2016 Census year data. In general, the 2011 NHS data is less comparable to that of all Censuses prior to 2011, and the 2016 Census. The results of the long-form Census are considered to be more reliable than those the 2011 National Household Survey. For more information, please see the Census Glossary and Notes, and the National Household Survey Glossary in the [Ward Profile portal](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/ward-profiles/ward-profiles-2018/).

Community Benefits Secured (Planning Act Sections 37 and 45)
City Planning
cityplanning@toronto.ca — 2024-02-26 The legacy Section 37 density bonusing framework in the Planning Act, 1990 enabled the City to negotiate contributions towards local community benefits for development applications that exceeded a site’s zoned height and density. Toronto’s Official Plan provided that Section 37 may be used for development, excepting non-profit developments, with more than 10,000 square metres of gross floor area where the zoning by-law amendment increases the permitted density by at least 1,500 square metres and/or significantly increases the permitted height. When a developer submitted an application requesting more height and density than allowed, City Planning staff initiated a review process. Section 37 benefits were negotiated on a case-by-case basis with developers, incorporating consultation with the Ward Councillor, the community, and various City Divisions and Agencies. In-kind contributions occur where a development applicant agrees to directly provide the negotiated benefit, such as dedicating physical space within a building for use by non-profit groups. Alternatively, a development applicant can provide cash-in-lieu of the negotiated benefit, transferring responsibility for implementation to the City. After approval by City Council, the proposed Section 37 benefits are considered to be “secured”, and the developer has a legal obligation to provide the benefits at a future date, usually when applying for a building permit. Similar to Section 37, community benefits can also be obtained pursuant to Section 45(9) of the Planning Act, 1990, where the Committee of Adjustment adds a condition on the approval of a minor variance to the zoning by-law. **Note:** There is often a lag between when the City secures and receives a benefit as, in some cases, it can take years before an approved development submits an application for a building permit. Delays in receiving the benefit can also occur when large investments require the pooling of funds from multiple projects.

Toronto Employment Survey Summary Tables
City Planning
cityplanning@toronto.ca — 2019-07-23 The Toronto Employment Survey Bulletin summarizes the highlights of the field survey by City Planning. Surveyors visit all businesses in the city to collect information about the number of employees working in each business located within the city of Toronto boundaries, and the type of work that is taking place. Each business provides information on the number of full- and part-time employees as well as the type of employment activity taking place at each location. For more information, refer to the bulletin. The Toronto Employment Survey explores one or more special topics related to Toronto's economy. As a result, additional tables related to those topics may exist for some years that do not exist for other years Additional contact: [cityplanning@toronto.ca](mailto:cityplanning@toronto.ca)

Ward Profiles, 2014-2018 Wards (44-Ward Model)
City Planning
cityplanning@toronto.ca — 2019-07-23 The 2016 and 2011 Ward Profiles (2014-2018 Wards) and Community Council Area Profiles are available from City Planning through the online Toronto Data, Research & Maps portal. These workbooks contain the data in these Profiles. These Profiles provide demographic, social and economic information for each Ward in the City of Toronto. Each Ward Profile and Community Council Area Profile provides a portrait of the population and households in each Ward and Community Council Area. The 2016 Ward Profiles contain information on population by age; households and dwelling types; families; language group; household tenure and period of construction; immigration and mobility; ethnic origin and visible minorities; education and labour force; income and shelter cost. In 2011, there were changes in the way information was collected for the 2011 Census. The information previously collected by the Census long form was collected as part of the voluntary National Household Survey (NHS) by Statistics Canada. As a result, older 2011 Ward Profiles contain similar demographic information as the 2016 Ward Profiles, except that the information is in two different Profile documents for each Ward. The 2011 Census Profiles contain information from the Census short form on population by age, households and dwelling types, families, and language groups. The 2011 National Household Survey Profiles contain information on household tenure and period of construction; immigration and mobility; ethnic origin and visible minorities; education and labour force; income and shelter costs. In 2016, Statistics Canada restored the mandatory long-form Census. These changes make it difficult to compare 2011 and 2016 Census year data. In general, the 2011 NHS data is less comparable to that of all Censuses prior to 2011, and the 2016 Census. The results of the long-form Census are considered to be more reliable than those the 2011 National Household Survey.

For more information, please see the Census Glossary and Notes in the [Ward Profile portal](https://www.toronto.ca/city-government/data-research-maps/neighbourhoods-communities/ward-profiles/).
