Many important services are administered on behalf of the City of Toronto and the community through separate City agencies, boards, commissions and corporations (ABCCs) and other special purpose bodies (SPBs), each having its own relationship with Toronto's City Council. Other services are administered through corporations that are partnered with the City.
ABCCs range in size and scope from large corporations with a lot of authority over their own operations, such as Toronto Hydro Corporation, to small community-based boards that rely on community involvement and volunteers to deliver programs, such as Community Centre 55.
