Cruise and Dine On the Trillium Ferry July 2nd

The Trillium ferry has a special place in my heart... my family lived on the Toronto Islands many moons ago, prior to me being born. After we moved, my Dad would take us there regularly and we would visit the ferry, via canoe, as it sat, partially submerged and rotting, in a Toronto Island lagoon.
Eventually, the Trillium was rescued, restored and put back into occasional service. The grande dame turns 100 this year and Heritage Toronto is celebrating by hosting a dinner onboard and a cruise of Toronto harbour. Mike Filey will be on hand, too -- the historian championed the rescue and restoration of the lovely boat.
Tickets are $65, it takes place July 2nd when the Tall Ships are in port and it benefits Heritage Toronto. Who could resist?
Cheers,
Vanessa
