Harrumph.  Scarborough is, of course, *in* Metro Toronto.  In case
anyone actually cares, the complete list of municipalities in the
Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto and which will therefore be
staying in 416 is: Borough of East York, City of Etobicoke (the k is
silent, incidentally), City of North York, City of Scarborough, City
of Toronto, and City of York.  The last is not to be confused with the
Regional Municipality of York, which includes all of the former County
of York *except* Metro Toronto, and will be in 905.

Names of municipalities eliminated in 1954 when Metro was formed, or
in 1966 when it was reorganized, many of which are still used for
postal address purposes, include: Agincourt, Don Mills, Downsview,
Forest Hill, Islington, Leaside, Long Branch, Mimico, New Toronto,
Rexdale, Swansea, Weston, and Willowdale.  These ex-places will all
remain in 416.  If you have the postal address of a place, it will be
in 416 if and only if its postal code starts with the letter M.
(Ignoring any anomalies at the Metro boundary, that is.)

Clear?

By the 1991 phone book, the prefixes in Metro Toronto are as follows.
Errors are mine.  461-3,5-7,9 means 461 462 463 465 466 467 469.
