Original Toronto Star caption: Making a big splash. The crew from Marc Garneau Collegiate take an unplanned dip in Lake Ontario yesterday as their canoe overturns just a few metres shy of the finish line in their high school semifinal war canoe race. Winner of the race, held at Ashbridges Bay, was East York Collegiate, which also went on to take the final. The five schools involved in the event are trying to boost interest in the sport.
