Old Toronto is the retronym of the original city of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, from 1834 to 1998. It was first incorporated as a city in 1834, after being known as the Town of York, and became part of York County. In 1954, it became the administrative headquarters for Metropolitan Toronto. It expanded in size by annexation of surrounding municipalities, reaching its final boundaries in 1967. Finally, in 1998, it was amalgamated into the present-day "megacity" of Toronto.
Post-amalgamation, the area within the boundaries of the former city is variously referred to as the "former city of Toronto" or "Old Toronto". Historically, Old Toronto has referred to Toronto's boundaries before the Great Toronto Fire of 1904, when much of city's development was to the east of Yonge Street. The term "downtown core" is also sometimes used to refer to the district, which actually refers to the central business district of Toronto, which is located within the former city.
The Toronto Professional Hockey Club was Toronto's first professional ice hockey team, founded in 1906. The team played the 1906–07 season in exhibition games against other professional teams. In 1908, the team was one of the founders of the Ontario Professional Hockey League (OPHL). The club operated for two seasons in the OPHL, 1908 and 1909, before disbanding. The club challenged unsuccessfully for the Stanley Cup in 1908. They were usually referred to as the Toronto Argonauts.
On November 14, 1906, the Ontario Hockey Association (OHA) banned Bruce Ridpath, Rolly Young and Harry Burgoyne from playing with the Toronto Marlboros. The three had been receiving money to play, strictly banned by the OHA. On November 22, Ridpath announced the formation of the Toronto Pros. Ridpath would be captain, and Alexander Miln was named as manager. Miln was manager of the Mutual Street Rink and had previously managed the Toronto Wellingtons, Stanley Cup challengers in 1902. On November 24, Miln attended a meeting of the International Hockey League (IHL) and secured a place in the IHL for the Pros for the 1907–08 season. For the initial season, the Toronto Pros would play only exhibition games.

With in-depth interviews from her mother, father and friends, Kelley reveals the untold story of The Sextortion of Amanda Todd.

Housekeeper's Daughter Allegedly Targeted Claires's Founders For 3 Million Dollar Blackmail
Florida police have released audiotapes they say capture a woman trying to blackmail the wealthy family that founded Claire's, a popular accessory and jewelry store often found in shopping malls, for $3 million.
Camille Brown, 32, was arrested Oct. 9, 2012, on extortion charges after authorities said she threatened to release embarrassing information and family secrets about Rowland and Sylvia Schaefer, the founders of Claire's, unless she was paid a to keep them private.
Brown is the daughter of the Schaefers' former housekeeper, Coleen Parkes, who was fired Sept. 22, 2012. The family's attorney has written in court documents that Parkes was let go because she was refusing to clean up after the Schaefers and she wasn't preparing meals consistent with the couple's medical conditions.

Florida police have released audiotapes they say capture a woman trying to blackmail the wealthy family that founded Claire's, a popular accessory and jewelry store often found in shopping malls, for $3 million.
Camille Brown, 32, was arrested Oct. 9, 2012, on extortion charges after authorities said she threatened to release embarrassing information and family secrets about Rowland and Sylvia Schaefer, the founders of Claire's, unless she was paid a to keep them private.
Brown is the daughter of the Schaefers' former housekeeper, Coleen Parkes, who was fired Sept. 22, 2012. The family's attorney has written in court documents that Parkes was let go because she was refusing to clean up after the Schaefers and she wasn't preparing meals consistent with the couple's medical conditions.
Three days after Parkes' dismissal, one of the daughter's of the Schaefers, Bonnie, says she got a threatening email from Brown.
"The email alleges that Sylvia Schaefer handed Brown a series of family letters that detailed deep, dark personal secrets that involved the family and Brown had kept those letters," said Sylvia Schaefer a writer for the Fort Lauderdale-based Sun Sentinel newspaper, which has been following the story since it broke in October.
The email allegedly threatened that if Bonnie Schaefer did not respond, the letters might be sold to the highest bidder.
Bonnie Schaefer called the police, who set up a sting operation. Police said an undercover agent met with Brown twice at a hotel. The undercover agent acted as a representative of the Schaefer family.
"What do you feel is fair to get the correspondence back?" the agent asks in one of the meetings.
"I feel fair-market value is fair," the woman responds.
That's when police say the woman pulled out a card with a dollar figure and handed it to the agent.
"Three million dollars?" the agent asks.
"That's the minimum," the woman says.
The agent tells the woman that he doesn't think the family will agree to the $3 million amount.
"I think the family really shouldn't think twice about paying this amount to get the information back. ... I'm very sure it's just going to be very damaging information," the woman says.
After second meeting at a Hampton Inn in Boynton Beach, Brown was arrested. Brown has pleaded not guilty to extortion charges.
In an email to ABC News, Brown's lawyer says, "Ms. Brown looks forward to her day in court and to proving that the letters were lawfully given to her. In court, we will also present unequivocal evidence that Ms. Brown's offer to return the letters, did not constitute extortion, blackmail or bribery. Ms. Brown is not alleging that the Schaefers mistreated her mother, however, we anticipate the trial testimony will reveal that her mother was, in fact, mistreated."
The Schaefers are suing Brown and her mother to get the letters back.
"As any family having to deal with betrayal, I think they should be commended for addressing a situation like this so that people can be held accountable," the Schaefers' family attorney Bill Shepherd said.
Journalist Burstein says the content of the audio tapes are ripped from a Hollywood script.
"What caught our attention is you listen to the audio tapes, not only of the undercover meetings but also of the phone calls, and it seems like something lifted from a television show," Burstein said.
Claire's was sold to a private equity firm in 2007 and it's believed that the Schaefers' holdings were worth more than $239 million, according to Burstein.
The trial is set to begin in June. Brown, who is out of jail on a $75,000 bond, is facing 15 years in prison.
