The former City of Etobicoke is now part of the (new) City of Toronto as a result of an amalgamation of 5 Cities and one Burough by the Province of Ontario in 1998. Etobicoke is located on the west side of the City of Toronto, roughly bounded by the Humber River to the east, Steeles Avenue to the north, Hwy 427 to the west and the southern boundary is Lake Ontario.
