Download or read book A Magical Place written by Freeman, Bill and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 1999 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Toronto Island occupies a special place in the hearts and minds of Torontonians: a fifteen-minute ferry ride across the harbour takes the visitor to a peaceful crescent of green where willows overhang the water, ducks and geese ply the lagoons, and people stroll the beaches and boardwalk. Yet despite the idyllic setting, Toronto Island has experienced more than its share of conflict. Over the years, there have been many competing visions that have shaped its complex and colourful history. Today, the island is both a unique public park enjoyed by over a million visitors yearly as well as home to a thriving community on Ward's and Algonquin Islands. A Magical Place is a celebration of Toronto Island--and islanders--past and present. It highlights important moments in island history and offers an appealing selection of archival and contemporary images.

Download or read book Toronto Island Summers written by Jim Sanderson and published by James Lorimer & Company. This book was released on 2016-10-03 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At this distance in time, the world of young people growing up in the fifties and sixties seems impossibly idyllic. Boys and girls roamed free, baseball and bicycles were the top summer activities, and no one worried about whether occasional hot dogs and french fries were healthy. Of all the places to spend a summer at a cottage, camp or lake, nowhere was as exotic as Toronto Island. Only a short ferry ride from the downtown, it was a world apart. Several hundred Toronto families had their summer vacation homes on the island. But the place also boasted a kind of midway, a beach that attracted exotic daytime visitors from the city, yacht clubs and fishermen. In this memoir, lifelong Torontonian Jim Sanderson takes readers back to the idyllic summers he spent at his family's cottage on the island in the 1950s and 1960s. For Jim and the other island kids, the woods, beaches and lagoons of the island were their playground. They camped in the woods, defended their beaches from the visiting "city slickers" and fished for the elusive, mythical Golden Carp in the lagoons. Jim Sanderson's experiences will echo those of any other Canadian who grew up in the same era, but with the special perspective of a young person on Toronto Island in the 1950s and 1960s, and on the nuances of the city's awkward relationship with the great recreational resource that the Toronto Island represents. With informal snapshot photos from Island residents of the period that illustrate the exquisite pleasures of island life, Toronto Island Summers takes readers back to a simpler time when nature, family and friendship reigned supreme.

Book excerpt: A storm-struck island. A blood-soaked bed. A missing man. In this captivating mystery that's perfect for fans of Knives Out, Senior Investigator Shana Merchant discovers that murder is a family affair. Thirteen months ago, former NYPD detective Shana Merchant barely survived being abducted by a serial killer. Now hoping to leave grisly murder cases behind, she's taken a job in her fiancé's sleepy hometown in the Thousand Islands region of Upstate New York. But as a nor'easter bears down on her new territory, Shana and fellow investigator Tim Wellington receive a call about a man missing on a private island. Shana and Tim travel to the isolated island owned by the wealthy Sinclair family to question the witnesses. They arrive to find blood on the scene and a house full of Sinclair family and friends on edge. While Tim guesses they're dealing with a runaway case, Shana is convinced that they have a murder on their hands. As the gale intensifies outside, she starts conducting interviews and discovers the Sinclairs and their guests are crawling with dark and dangerous secrets. Trapped on the island by the raging storm with only Tim whose reliability is thrown into question, the increasingly restless suspects, and her own trauma-fueled flashbacks for company, Shana will have to trust the one person her abduction destroyed her faith in--herself. But time is ticking down, because if Shana's right, a killer is in their midst and as the pressure mounts, so do the odds that they'll strike again.

Download or read book Looking for Old Ontario written by Thomas F. McIlwraith and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1997-01-01 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The slogan on Ontario's licence plates, 'Yours to Discover,' was designed to promote travel opportunities within the province. Every year, thousands of tourists drive along country roads, past farmyards and through hamlets, en route to popular vacation spots. In Looking for Old Ontario, Thomas McIlwraith shows that many destinations are closer at hand than one might imagine, and invites travellers to rediscover familiar countryside landmarks by 'reading' them as chapters in a rich historical narrative. Surveyors long ago scored Ontario's land, and generations have since inscribed it with residences, businesses, and institutions. This book, the result of thirty years of field work and archival research, is a reflection on and an interpretation of the ways in which the land and its inhabitants interrelate. Looking for Old Ontario guides readers through the vernacular landscape of the province, examining barns, fences, jails, post offices, inns, mills, canals, railways, roadsides, cemeteries, and much more. McIlwraith emphasizes ordinary features of the cultural landscape which communicate social meaning to the observant eye. The landscape tells us that Ontario has been inhabited by thrifty people; this we can conclude by looking at the economical use and reuse of construction materials. Yet the landscape also tells us that Ontario's residents have been inclined to show off: consider the province's unusually large number of elegant brick dwellings. To read a landscape is to think about such connections, and McIlwraith's contemplative style differentiates his work from manuals or handbooks. Since landscape interpretation is a highly visual subject, Looking for Old Ontario is extensively illustrated with photographs, drawings, and maps. It will be useful to general readers interested in recognizing the broader meanings of their communities' heritage, as well as to students of geography, history, and planning.
