Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Jammed weekend at wasaga beach. The first really warm weekend of our late summer had the crowds flocking to Wasaga Beach. The cars were so thick it was tough for a would-be sunbather to find a spot to stretch out. Congestion was added to by the high water this year which has cut the width of the beach to about half of what it is in more normal years.
