Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: Kitchener school children who had planned to visit Riverdale Zoo walk away in disappointment. As a result of the civic workers' strike the zoo was Padlocked and the park where they'd planned to picnic was piled high with stinking garbage. Later they saw a few animals in High Park and ate their lunch in an area there that was free of garbage. What a dirty city this is; one girl said. I wouldn't want to live here. Metro residents are unhappy too.
