Great story.

Lovely Lauren. Maureen is my cousin and my parents and myself also lived on the Island. We had to leave as I developed bronchitis as a baby. My sister and I are in one of your photos shown here. We were Colleen and Debra Madden. Thanks for your film.

This is heartbreaking

Excellent! My mom lived on Centre Island in the late twenties, and I visited it often as a child. I agree with all the points made in your film. From Hanlan's to Ward's, the islands of the forties and early fifties were far more interesting, for adults and children, than today's largely arid replacement.The farm and Centreville are exceptions, but they were built away from the former location of Centre Island houses, on land that, in my memory, had nothing of interest before the destruction. Fred Gardiner, Tommy Thompson, the Star and the Telegram all deserve condemnation for either instigating, or ignoring this destruction of one of the most beautiful, charming areas of Toronto.

This is a very good Documentary short about the history of the Island that many do not know about.

That is so sad why did the people allow it to happen?So sad.Where the people compensated for their property?
