Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Neighborhood dump: The effects of the 2-week-old civic workers' strike North York are obvious to the eye and nose at Wilmington Park in the Dufferin-Finch area. It's not a great sight to look at; said Erica Bauer; who lives on Washington Ave.; right across the street. I hope they end this strike as soon as possible because it's getting warm and it's starting to stink.
