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!

He is known as the father of Ontario's public school system. He is also a founder of the first publishing company in Canada in 1829 the Methodist Book and Publishing House which was renamed the Ryerson Press in 1919 and today is part of McGraw-Hill Ryerson a Canadian publisher of educational and professional books which still bears Egerton Ryerson's name for its Canadian operations Advances in science and technology brought on by World War II and continued Canadian industrialization previously interrupted by the Great Depression created a demand for a more highly trained population Howard Hillen Kerr was given control of nine Ontario Training and Re-establishment centres to accomplish this His vision of what these institutions would do was broader than what others were suggesting in 1943 he visited the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and was convinced Canada could develop its own MIT over one hundred years Along the way such an institution could respond to the society's needs When the Province approved the idea of technical institutes in 1946 it proposed to found several it turned out all but one would be special purpose schools such as the mining school Only the Toronto retraining centre which became the Ryerson Institute of Technology in 1948 would become a multi-program campus Kerr's future MIT of Canada The Toronto Training and Re-establishment Institute was created in 1945 on the former site of the Toronto Normal School at St James Square bounded by Gerrard Church Yonge and Gould the Gothic-Romanesque building was designed by architects Thomas Ridout and Frederick William Cumberland in 1852 the site had been used as a Royal Canadian Air Force training facility during World War II the institute was a joint venture of the federal and provincial government to train ex-servicemen and women for re-entry into civilian life The Ryerson Institute of Technology was founded in 1948 inheriting the staff and facilities of the Toronto Training and Re-establishment Institute in 1966 it became the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute In 1971 provincial legislation was amended to permit Ryerson to grant university degrees accredited by provincial government legislation and by the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC).
