Original Toronto Star caption: Nice weather - for geese. Mother Goose takes her flock for a stroll under less than summery skies near Ashbridges Bay on Metro's waterfront. Today's weather forecast called for a windy and very cool first day of June; with a mix of sun and cloud and a high temperature of only 10 C (50 F); about half the normal temperature for this time of year. While the sun will be back by Friday; local tourism operators are in a sweat over forecasts that this summer may mirror last year's.
