Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Washed away: Brantford residents survey what remains of Beach Road; which was buckled and torn up by a mudslide late last night. Wayne Atfield (at right; with beard) lost his home on the banks of the Grand River to the slide. I put everything I had into this place; it was my dream home; and now I don't know what is going to happen; the single father said this morning.
