Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: Canada geese stage their own sailpast. The Canada geese of Ontario Place Stage a sailpast of their own for becalmed boaters in the lagoon near where the HMCS Haida. The small sailboats were hardly moving on the lagoon when the geese turned smartly and; in a perfect line; swam into the lagoon; made a right turn and glided past the boats looking as though they were ready for a salute. The whole long weekend is expected to be sunny.
