Notes

Original Toronto Star caption: It's ungovernable: City officials over the years have thought of trying to control the sprawling Kensington Market but their desire for order has been frustrated by its nature. It is THE place where immigrants get their start in the heart of Metro and there's no keeping the customers away.
