Toronto Island Summers
At this distance in time, the world of young people growing up in the fifties and sixties seems impossibly idyllic. Boys and girls roamed free, baseball and bicycles were the top summer activities, and no one worried about whether occasional hot dogs and french fries were healthy. Of all the places to spend a summer at a cottage, camp or lake, nowhere was as exotic as Toronto Island. Only a short ferry ride from the downtown, it was a world apart. Several hundred Toronto families had their summer vacation homes on the island. But the place also boasted a kind of midway, a beach that attracted exotic daytime visitors from the city, yacht clubs and fishermen. In this memoir, lifelong Torontoni...
A Magical Place
Toronto Island occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of Torontonians: a fifteen-minute ferry ride across the harbour takes the visitor to a peaceful crescent of green where willows overhang the water, ducks and geese ply the lagoons, and people stroll the beaches and boardwalk. Yet despite the idyllic setting, Toronto Island has experienced more than its share of conflict. Over the years, there have been many competing visions that have shaped its complex and colourful history. Today, the island is both a unique public park enjoyed by over a million visitors yearly as well as home to a thriving community on Ward's and Algonquin Islands. A Magical Place is a celebration of Toronto Island--and islanders--past and present. It highlights important moments in island history and offers an appealing selection of archival and contemporary images.

Toronto Islands: Seasonal Views
The Toronto Islands, a chain of islands in Lake Ontario, just south of Canada's largest city, are a popular attraction for both locals and tourists. With it's idyllic beaches, sprawling parklands, and quiet nooks, the islands provide a convenient refuge for those seeking a mediative escape from the frantic bustle of the city. The islands are also home to the largest urban car-free community in North America, comprised of 262 homes and around 600 permanent residents. Toronto Islands: Seasonal Views chronicles the island experience over several years, and through all four seasons, while looking at how the islands themselves form a bridge between the drastically different rural and urban environments.
