Original Toronto Star caption: Cooling their heels-Although thousands of Metro residents fled the city for summer's last long weekend; thousands more headed for Metro and its program of festivities. Many visitors to Canadian National Exhibition found the pond at Ontario Place just the place to cool off after the long trek through CNE grounds. If the weather holds up; it will be a record Exhibition. [Incomplete]
