THE TORONTO ISLANDS -THEN & NOW-
The history of the Toronto Islands is filled with characters larger than life and touched by great historic events. And now you can enjoy the story without waiting for a disk in the mail!

Join a guided tour, using modern-day video and rare archival images, through 200 years of settlement, 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. (If you find yourself in the Toronto area in 2008, consider a visit to the Gibraltor lighthouse, celebrating its 200th birthday this year!)
This is a powerful story and one too little exposed to Canadians of the 21st Century. Feel free to view the trailer, if you have a high-speed connection to the Internet. Should you decide to purchase the DVD you will be pleased to know that the delivery cost is included in the price of $9.95, with taxes extra where applicable.
