The
Toronto
Island
s were created in 1858 after a tremendous
storm
separated Toronto's eastern
peninsula
from the city's
mainland
. Once the Islands had been formed they immediately became a popular
summe
r playground containing
hotel
s,
amusement park
s, and summer
cottage
s.
A
housing
crisis
during
World War II
led to the
winterization
of Island cottages and marked the beginning of year round
occupancy
on the
Island
s. Once the war was over, the city
mandate
d that all the Island houses be
demolish
ed so that the Toronto Islands could be used
exclusively
as
parkland
.
Only the communities of Ward's Island and Algonquin Island survived the city's wrecking crews. However, their status remained clouded until 1994 when the
province
of Ontario signed a 99 year
lease
with Toronto Island residents, that finally
secure
d the
future
of the "Islanders" and their
neighbourhood
.
The Toronto Islands are
accessible
by
ferry
or
water taxi
at the foot of Bay Street and Queen's Quay.
