Original Toronto Star caption: Wasaga Beach was a great place to cool off yesterday for thousands of visitors before making the long drive home at the end of the Labor Day weekend. One Weekend visitors said that at 4 a.m. Sunday the beach was full of tourists, many of them swimming. Many residents at the Georgian Bay resort breathed a sigh of relief yesterday as the last of the weekend visitors wound their way home. Much of Ontario has been sweltering over the past 10 days, and the same is forecast for tomorrow. Hottest spot in Canada reached a temperature of 94.
