THE TORONTO ISLANDS -THEN & NOW-
The history of the Toronto Islands is filled with characters larger than life and touched by great historic events. More than one million visitors a year take a ferry ride to the Islands, but very few know the remarkable stories that have unfolded there over the past two hundred years.
Join a guided tour, using modern-day video and rare archival images, from the early days of the lighthouse keepers to the War of 1812 - storms and shipwrecks, lives lost and saved. Along the way, meet Canada's first World Champion (Ned Hanlan) and a hero (William Ward) who saved more than 160 souls from watery graves. New to the site in 2009 is the address made at the base of the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse by Island Ward Alderman Pam McConnell in celebrating its 200th birthday early in July of 2008. View the video via the link on the left.
