      History

      The Toronto Transition Team, with the former Chairman of Metropolitan Toronto Alvin Tonks as its Chair, was established to provide a central coordinating office to oversee budgetary and administrative issues arising from the provincial governments amalgamation of the City of Toronto, North York, Etobicoke, Scarborough, East York, and York into the new City of Toronto effective January 1, 1998.

      The Transition Team examined operating budgets and provided spending guidelines to the municipalities in the run up to amalgamation. The Team also sponsored the preparation of studies relating to savings anticipated from the consolidation of services across the metropolitan area.

      The Team ceased to operate early in 1998 following the completion of the political amalgamation of the former municipalities.
