Toronto Island House and History Tour

Enjoy a delightful summer day on the Island in support of a great cause.

On June 13, the Toronto Island Grannies in Spirit will host a tour of more than 12 distinctive private homes and common buildings, each with its own story to tell. Visitors will also have a chance to meet Toronto Island residents, find out about Island life, and gain insight into one of Canada's most historic - and unique - communities.

Grannies in Spirit is one of over 220 grandmother groups across Canada in the Grandmothers Campaign. All proceeds from this event will go to the Stephen Lewis Foundation to fund grass roots projects in Africa that support grandmothers who are raising their orphaned grandchildren.
