Hello

My name is Warren Hoselton

I'm pleased to be your tour guide for Toronto Island Discovery Tours.

I recently retired after 40 years with the City of Toronto Parks Department. Fun fact: I have been the longest serving Parks Supervisor on Toronto Island, so I know where all the bulbs are buried.

Join my exclusive Warren's Walk About and Boat About tour, where I will give you an insiders peek at the history/heritage/flora and fauna, as well as many of my personal observations and experiences on this jewel-in-the-crown special park.

I often joke that there were days when I felt that I was cast into an “Andy from Mayberry” type role where I was tasked with balancing community and stakeholder issues with the broader operation of one of Toronto’s most popular parks.
