	Toronto Islands - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The islands were originally a 9 km peninsula or sandy bar extending from the mainland.
		Geologically, the islands are composed of alluvial deposits from the erosion of the Scarborough Bluffs.
		Toronto City Centre Airport (YTZ), formerly the Toronto Island Airport and still commonly known as the Island Airport, is located at the far west of the Islands and is reached by a separate, much smaller ferry from the foot of Bathurst Street.

	Toronto Islands / Toronto Centre Island / Toronto Island Ferry
		The Toronto Islands were not always in fact islands but actually a series of continuously roaming sand-bars, or littoral drift deposits, originating from the Scarborough Bluffs and carried westward by Lake Ontario currents.
		High lake levels continually damaged island properties and, on January 1, 1956, the City of Toronto transferred responsibility for the Toronto Islands to The Municipality of Metropolitan Toronto (Metro) to be developed as a regional park.
		After the islands were transferred from the federal government to the City of Toronto in 1867, Plan D-141 divided the land into lots and allowed cottages, amusement areas and resort hotels to be built.
