Toronto Islands
The Toronto Islands are a chain of islands in Western Lake Ontario, known for their diverse plant and wildlife. Historically significant, the islands, once a peninsula, formed a natural harbor that influenced the choice of Toronto (then York) as a prime location. Today, they offer a unique natural environment and recreational space within the city.
Wards Island
Wards Island is one of the oldest residential neighborhoods on the Toronto Islands. It has a rich history, with some families tracing their ancestry back generations. The island offers a glimpse into a unique island lifestyle, distinct from the urban environment of Toronto.
Algonquin Island

Lagoons of Toronto Islands
The lagoons of the Toronto Islands provide a serene and picturesque setting for kayaking. These waterways are home to diverse wildlife and offer a tranquil escape from the city.
