Boroughs of Canada

Boroughs of Canada

In Quebec, the term borough is used as the formal translation into English of the French "arrondissement", an administrative subdivision of a major city. There are many boroughs in Quebec.

East York, Ontario, although an independent municipality with its own mayor and council, was also formerly designated as a borough. With the community's amalgamation into Toronto in 1998, East York no longer holds this status. At the time, East York was the only municipality in Canada designated as a borough; most of the communities in Quebec now designated as "arrondissements" or boroughs were also independent "villes" prior to 2002.
