Strawberry Island (Lake Simcoe)

Strawberry Island is a 25-acre lake island in Lake Simcoe, Ontario, Canada. It used to be owned and operated by the Roman Catholic Congregation of St. Basil as a place of retreat. Pope John Paul II spent three days on the island in 2002. It is about a one-hour drive north of Toronto. In 2007, the island was purchased by Trans America Group.[1]

The island is also within the boundaries of Ramara Township and overall in Simcoe County.
