Toronto's man-made peninsula, the Leslie Street Spit, is still growing, and will be for the next few decades to come as dredged material from the city's harbour continues to be deposited along its shoreline.Created in 1959 by the Toronto Harbour Commissioners (THC), now PortsToronto, for "port-related facilities," the Leslie Street Spit's expected use as an outer harbour port never panned out, yet the landform has expanded significantly through millions of cubic metres of concrete, earth fill, and dredged sand, and today supports Tommy Thompson Park.The artificial peninsula extends five kilometres into Lake Ontario and is over 500 hectares in size. The park is home to some of the largest existing natural habitats on the Toronto waterfront, and includes wildflower meadows, cottonwood forests, cobble beaches, and coastal marshes.Aerial view of the Leslie Street Spit in 1975.

This secluded wellness retreat in Ontario is perhaps the most serene way to reconnect with nature without sacrificing on luxury.Wellness may be the buzzword to end all buzzwords in 2025, being co-opted by everything from luxury clubs offering some seriously Cronenbergian-sounding services to cold plunge camps that encourage you to take a dip in frozen lakes, but it's not without reason.In 2025, when the world seems to be careening ever deeper into utter chaos, the notion that there are concrete steps (that can come in varying degrees of scientific complexity) we can take to support our own — say it with me — wellness, is a comfort.It's a small way to feel in control of an otherwise out-of-control period in human history.But that's not why I called you here.
