Original Toronto Star caption: Robarts tours a premier showplace. Premier John Robarts donned a hard-hat today and toured Ontario Place, the province's showpiece on artificial islands off the Canadian National Exhibition grounds. The premier - who was there to videotape his New Year's day message - stayed for about an hour, talking with project workmen. He didn't tour the grounds, however, because of the weather. Robarts is shown above with project manager Oliver Stephens. Ontario Place is due for completion in 1971.
