Original Toronto Star caption: More fun than school: While an amused crossing guard looks on at the corner of George St. and The Esplanade; these youngsters enjoy their first day out of school after Metro teachers went on strike. Thier mother was taking them for an outing on her tricyle. Many other mothers who could not take time off from work sent their children to the half-empty schools.
