Notes
Original Toronto Star caption: The quiet village of Terra Cotta isn't so quiet these days after Peel County announced that it will widen this bridge. Residents think construction will lead to widening and straightening of the winding road through the community and the picturesque charm that accounts for 50,000 visitors a year will be ruined. Sale of an old smithy to the county also aroused suspicions.
