Original Toronto Star caption: Out for an autumn stroll. Canada geese bring traffic to an abrupt halt as they make their way across Lake Shore Blvd. yesterday from Lake Ontario; heading for greener grass on the other side of the street. Some will fly off to sunnier climes for the winter; but many remain year-round in the Metro area where food is readily available. Today's forecast calls for wind with clouds and sunshine along with a stray afternoon shower and highs up to 20C (68F); lows down to 10C (50F) tonight.
