Original Toronto Star caption: Science centre staff takes to the don. Battling elements on the Don River yesterday were Ontario Science Centre employees who helped usher in spring with a canoe and raft race. Employees from scientists to secretaries took part in the five-mile river race from the centre to Bloor St. Parts of the race meant portaging around waterfalls and riding rapids. Winnes in 54 minutes were Mike Woustra and Leslie Popelyak in canoe Last Chance.
