Toronto Island Walking Tour #3

We meet you off the ferry at Ward's Island and introduce ourselves. Before getting started we'll show you a map of the entire Park and share some background about the two communities we'll visit, one we refer to as the "inner city " the other as "the suburbs. " You'll see why. We start the walk with local history and archival photos and stroll past the beautiful gardens of our Islander-run café, situated in an historic building. From there, we'll move on to the special pebble mosaic created by a local artist, then into the Ward's community to see cottage-style homes and gardens; artwork by Island artisans; a meadow and sandy beaches. We'll then walk the beautiful wooden boardwalk along the open waters of Lake Ontario to Algonquin Island. A footbridge will lead us to "the suburbs " where you'll see a different style of homes and gardens, have the best photo op anywhere of the Toronto skyline and CN Tower, and finish the tour in my back garden for home baking, coffee or tea.
