Editing Borough (section)

{{main|Municipal government in Canada}}
In [[Quebec]], the term '''borough''' is generally used as the English translation of {{lang |fr |[[arrondissement]]}}, referring to an administrative division of a municipality, or a district. Eight municipalities are divided into boroughs: See [[List of boroughs in Quebec]].

In [[Ontario]], it was previously used to denote suburban municipalities in [[Metropolitan Toronto]], including Scarborough, York, North York and Etobicoke prior to their conversions to cities. The Borough of [[East York]] was the last Toronto municipality to hold this status, relinquishing it upon becoming part of the [[City of Toronto government]] on January 1, 1998.
