[edit] Toronto Ultimate Club addition

Hello, I would like to add some information and a little history about Toronto Ultimate (disc sport) to the sports section in the article Toronto

Reference http://tuc.org/History/TUC-History

Today the Toronto Ultimate Club is one of the largest Ultimate clubs in the world, with thousands of players and hundreds of teams participating every season and on most days of the week, on various fields (indoor and outdoor) throughout the year. We are a not-for-profit organization that was officially incorporated in 1995. The Club is comprised of 3 full time managers, a strong Board of Directors who represent the membership, and over 100 volunteers who make the TUC successful.Thank youAudra454 (talk) 12:20, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

Toronto Ultimate Club does not have an article yet. Please come back when it has an article and survive WP:CSD and/or WP:AFD. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 17:00, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Edit request on 26 December 2011

Under the Economy section of this article it states that the unemployment rate in Toronto in November 2010 was 6.7%. This is inaccurate. The unemployment rate in Toronto in November 2010, according to Statistics Canada, was 8.3%. In recession ravaged Southern Ontario, it is logically and highly unlikely that the unemployment rate was only 6.7% in November 2010. Here is the link to the correct and accurate information provided by Statistics Canada: http://www40.statcan.ca/l01/cst01/lfss04f-eng.htm

Please correct this information.

[edit] Consolidation with suburbs

There should be a brief explanation how the city of Toronto consolidated with its suburbs, thus swelling the city's population from 680,000 to 2.5 million overnight. --MarioSmario (talk) 02:37, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

The explanation is already in the Amalgamation of Toronto article. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 03:04, 6 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] Population of "metropolitan area"

There are a few fixable problems with the article's treatment of Toronto's larger population counts now that the 2011 census figures are out. First, the introduction states "With over 2.6 million residents, it is the fifth most populous city in North America. Its metropolitan area with over 5.5 million residents is the seventh largest urban region in North America." The first item links to a page which confirms the stat given, but the second links to a page in which only 2005 numbers are given and Toronto appears at No. 5, not No. 7. The information there appears to based on the GTA (not Toronto CMA) population numbers, and from the 2006, not 2011, census. This needs to be fixed somehow, as there is currently no cited basis for considering Toronto the "7th largest urban region in North America." Further, there is question of whether Toronto should be ranked based on the GTA's overall population or just the Toronto CMA, given the use of the words "urban region" in the statement and "urban agglomeration" in the cited list. I should also note that the standard for other North American cities on these pages appears somewhat inconsistent with how Stats Can counts the CMA (they appear to use much larger areas). I can't make any changes to the Toronto article as I'm a new user and this is a protected page. Claroche 17:46 February 2012

That will be done. Johnny Au (talk/contributions) 16:11, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

[edit] spelling mistake in photo caption for "Richard Serra's Titled (sic) Spheres"

They are "Tilted Spheres." See Richard Serra. 110.77.249.137 12:33, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
