People living on the Toronto Islands have a sweet deal, with below typical housing costs. Houses were initially built to address housing shortages after WWII, then it was decided that the city wanted the land back and the fights ensued. Eventually, a 99-yr lease agreement was made and these folk have the best of city and small-town life.

Who wants this cute booklet about nature on Toronto Islands? I have an extra copy. You’d have to pick it up from me. I’ll be in The Annex on Monday evening for @Techpizzamondays, which you’d be welcome to stay for. #Toronto #TorontoIslands

Ankunft auf den Vergnügungsinseln #TorontoIslands. Auf der äußeren Seite kann der #LakeOntario sein wilderes Gesicht zeigen. Entspannung im #Centreville Park mit einer Seilbahn, die nur eine Station hat. Einfach Mal eine echte Rundtour machen.

More about that community on Toronto Islands. Owning a home on the island has its challenges as purchases are tightly controlled as are home prices. Here's a great article that provides the details.

Good Morning #Canada
For day 3 of our house swap we're taking the ferry later this morning to Toronto Islands. Originally a large peninsula a storm in 1858 severed it from the mainland to create the islands we know today. Besides being a huge park the islands also have sports facilities, an airport, a farm, kid-sized amusement park and a community of about 700. It really is a jewel on the Toronto waterfront.#CanadaIsAwesome #TorontoIslands #HouseSwap
