Toronto's Neighbourhood Identity Crisis
Tip: Read once for gist, twice for details.
First, we gotta address the elephant in the room (or the moose on the loose, if you're feeling particularly Canadian). Toronto, unlike some American cities, gobbled up a bunch of surrounding municipalities in the 1990s, in a move some might call a friendly takeover, and others might say resembled a particularly polite game of Pac-Man. This means what we now consider "Toronto" encompasses a bunch of areas that used to be their own independent towns.
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.
The Official Tally: 158 and Counting?
The City of Toronto itself recognizes a whopping 158 neighbourhoods. That's a lot of places to grab a double-double and a beavertail, that's for sure. But hold on to your toques, because some folks reckon there are actually over 240 areas with their own unique flavour, even if they aren't officially recognized.
Tip: Don’t skim — absorb.

Suburbs or Neighbourhoods? The Great Canadian Debate
Now, here's where things get fuzzy, like maple syrup on a cold winter's day. Are these sprawling neighbourhoods considered suburbs? Technically, some might be, but Toronto prides itself on its strong neighbourhood vibes, even in areas with a more suburban feel. So, instead of a stark city-versus-suburbs divide, Toronto offers a spectrum of community feels.
QuickTip: Look for contrasts — they reveal insights.
How Many Tim Hortons Per Square Kilometre? That's the Real Question
Perhaps instead of counting suburbs, we should be counting Tim Hortons locations. After all, those red and white beacons are practically a defining feature of any Canadian neighbourhood.
So, how many suburbs does Toronto have? The answer, like a good Canadian conversation, is complex, friendly, and involves a surprising amount of maple products.
