@builtmysteriestv: The Toronto Islands weren’t always islands. For centuries, sand from the Scarborough Bluffs was carried west by Lake Ontario, forming a long peninsula that protected Toronto Harbour. Then, in 1858, a powerful storm broke through the narrow strip connecting it to the mainland. Instead of disappearing, that breach became a permanent entrance to the harbour — and helped create the Toronto Islands we know today. #toronto #torontoislands #canada #ontario #engineering #geography #history #architecture
