The City of Toronto

The City of Toronto is the municipal government responsible for delivering essential public services to Canada's largest city and the fourth-largest in North America. It serves approximately 2.8 million residents through operations spanning water treatment, public transit, parks, public libraries, garbage collection and snow removal. Work is carried out by thousands of public servants across numerous divisions, in fields ranging from urban infrastructure and municipal operations to transit and waste management.

The organisation's remit touches most aspects of daily urban life. Divisions maintain and run public parks and green spaces, operate library services, collect solid waste, and clear snow and ice from city streets. Water treatment operations deliver municipal water services, and public transit is operated as part of the City's core service delivery. Roles therefore cover technical trades, engineering, operations, service delivery and administrative functions across a large public-sector employer.

Toronto was founded in 1793 as York and incorporated as the City of Toronto in 1834. More than half its population was born overseas, making it one of the most multicultural cities in the world; the workforce reflects that diversity. The city also hosts the second-largest financial sector in North America. Headquarters are in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
