The current census available in Canada is 1901.

You could try the Durham Region Board of Education and they may be able to
help you track down more information on her employment. The large news
papers in Toronto (Ajax is 20 minutes east) are the Toronto Star, Toronto
Sun and the Globe and Mail. There is also the National, but, it only
started a few years ago. In addition, local papers is made by Metroland
Publishers. Surrounding towns in Ajax are Pickering, Whitby and Oshawa
where I live.

Ajax was a war manufacture town and home of part of the University of
Toronto at one point.

Hopes this helps.
