Just off mainland Toronto, there’s a group of islands that is owned by the city and is mainly park land but has about 250 residents. They had a bit of history with the city trying to remain on the islands, but finally managed to snag 99-year leases.

The weekend before Halloween, we joined our friend, Rick, a resident of Ward’s Island for a community costume party. Even though we gave away (almost) all our costumes at our Reverse Costume Party in February, we still managed to look fabulous. Rick helped.
