The Toronto Helios Society was a nudist/naturist club located at Sharon, north of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In 1972 Eric and June Jarvis purchased a 20.25 hectare (50 acres) property. The land consisted of a road to a bridge over the river, and three cleared areas that were covered with ferns and brambles. The first year was spent dredging a lake fed by a creek and natural springs. (Now known as Jarvis Pond) They also dug a well for drinking water, working weekends and living in Toronto while holding down a job during the week. 1973 was their first year as an official nudist club. Only eight couples joined that first year. Most visitors found the facilities too primitive.
