Manitoulin Island is the largest freshwater island in the world. Its only land connection to the rest of Ontario is a 110-year-old, one-lane bridge. And it's falling apart.
In this episode of Living History, we'll learn about the Manitoulin and North Shore Railway Company that built the swing bridge and why it's so significant to many islanders, where it's become a symbol of their home.
