Island Ferry
Did you know Canada has over 52,000 islands? This number is minimal in comparison to Finland or Sweden, but still substantial! There are 1864 islands in the 1000 Island archipelago of Eastern Ontario. I happen to live on the largest, most populated island, right where the river meets with the lake. Our island runs an essential ferry service between the mainland and Wolfe Island 20 hours a day, 7 days a week, (almost) 365 days a year. Not only is this an essential service for those of us who work on the mainland daily, it also provides access to shops, services, and medical care that are largely unavailable in our small rural community. Living on this island is work, but worth it.
