As part of a special day to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the Gibraltar Point Lighthouse on the Toronto Islands, Mike Filey invites you to a historic tour aboard the legendary boat, Trillium.

On Saturday, July 5th, the restored 1910 Paddle Steamer will play host to a one hour narrated tour of Toronto Harbour.

Trillium will depart the city's mainland Toronto Island ferry dock at the foot of Bay St. at 12:00pm, and will arrive at Hanlan's Point at 1:00pm in time for passengers to make their way to the Lighthouse site for the start of the 1:30pm ceremony and plaque presentation on the Islands.

For more information on the Lighthouse celebration, click here.

If you would like to attend the Lighthouse ceremony only, other ferries leave for Hanlan's Point on a regular summer schedule. Click here for the schedule.

To get there - TTC access to the docks via the 509 & 510 streetcar routes from Union Station to Queen's Quay/Ferry Docks station.

Cost:

Adults $6.50
Seniors/students $4
Juniors $3

Arrive early as space is available on a first come, first served basis! No reservations necessary.
