Original Toronto Star caption: Premier John Robarts presents the switch that set off Ontario's firework display as Centennial Year got underway in the province. The premier also lit a centennial flame with a sparkler and dramatically announced the fire lights our way to the future. The flame later went out but Queen's Park officials explained it was not intended to burn all year. That will be left to the Centennial flame in Ottawa.
