Farmland within Toronto Municipal Boundaries

Question

I have a graduate student looking for 'Total Hectares of farmland within Toronto Municipal Boundaries for 1991,1996 and 2001'. The Census of Agriculture does not have these figures for the Municipal level. Can any one suggest where I should look?

Answer

The lowest level of dissemination for standard products for agricultural tables are CCS (Census Consolidated Subdivisions). For the Census Division of Toronto, 2001 has one CCS (Toronto) and for the other years (prior to amalgamation in Toronto), there are more CCS listed (six I think).

You can access the most recent information for free on the Census of Agriculture web site
(http://www.statcan.ca/english/agcensus2001/index.htm)
and the previous years are available from the DLI FTP site.

If you need smaller geographies, these will be a custom request from the Division and will result in fees for the work.
