The Toronto Islands website will give in depth detail of events and activity. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toronto_IslandsThe Rectory Cafe on Ward's Island (at the east end of the island) is one of my favourite escapes on a hot summer day. If you are travelling with kids, a day at Centreville is a must, then ride your bike or rent a multi-person bike and ride along the path to any of the other islands. It makes for a perfect Toronto experience. The west end of the island, Hanlon's Point is a great LGBT friendly spot.
