Water levels in Lake Ontario reached the highest recorded level in history on Thursday, causing flooding on the Toronto Islands and halting ferry services. The rising lake levels caused water to flood areas within the Algonquin Island, according to a statement from Coun. of lake water from public and private areas. Rising water levels caused ferry service to Hanlan’s Point to stop running for vehicles and pedestrians, Cressy said. Before now, the record high was during the 2017 Lake Ontario flooding, at 75.93 metres, said Rajabali, making Thursday’s levels the highest ever recorded for the lake.
