Reap the rich benefits
stepfamily living can offer'
A Step Family is a unique
kind of family which like
all families needs educa-
tion and support. Step -
parenting is different from
birth parenting. Being a re-
married parent is different
from being a parent in a
first marriage family and
growing up in a step family
can be more complicated
than growing up in a
biological family.
The Family Education
Resource Centre of
Durham House is offering a
study group for step-
parents focussing on the
advantages and positive
aspects of being a step-
parent, and the adjustment
issues faced by both
parents and children in
step families -
The group will meet at
Children Service Council,
1650 Dundas, St E.. Whitby.
from 7 - 9 p.m. on Thursday
evenings starting Oct. 28.
The cost is tib per person
plus book fee of $17. Pre-
registration is required.

Bob's Notes by Bob Watson
..............................................................:�f
What Spirit!
Well, thousands of Canadians shouted and cheered the
Toronto's Blue Jays as they won the second World Series
Baseball Championship. The enthusiasm and pride at sup-
porting the Blue Jays has made Americans believe that
Canadians have a terrific common national spirit that the
Blue Jays have brought out.
Ott, if only this were true! We believe that the tremendous
enthusiasm of Canadians for the Blue Jays is because we
Canadians haven't been given a way of expressing our na-
tional spirit by our federal politicians.
A national Canadian spirit was present during World War
II - and now for our professional baseball team. We need a
leader who can give us all a reason to stand up and be proud
to be a Canadian. We need a political party leader and a
program to get all Canadian citizens, regardless of their
background, to join in an enthusiastic national feeling.
Want Small Favour
Dear Editor:
We're writing to ask a small favour. and we really hope
you can help us out.
Since 1949, at the rate of 1.500 each summer, well over
135.000 Canadian and 2.000 American teenagers have at-
tended the Vernon Army Cadet Camp in Vernon, British
Columbia. The training they receive has made them pretty
good Canadian and American citizens.
These boys and girls carne from and still do corse from
every small -village. town and city in Canada and
Washington State. They're so spread out. we don't know
where they are. .and now, many of them are in their twen-
ties, thirties. forties and fifties.
It would sure be appreciated if you would mention in your
newspaper that the first ever reunion of the Vernon Army
Cadet Camp will be held 22. 23. 24th July. 1991 at Vernon.

allowances. The Clayton study proves that this is dead
wrong. The reason can be summed up in one word:
interest."
According to the Clayton projections. non profit housing
is more costly than shelter allowances throughout the 35
year mortgage life of the properties, though the gap nar-
rows over time. (trice the mortgages are paid off. non pro-
fits.
rofit_, are less costly than shelter allowances, but the savings
from that point on are dwarfed by the interest on the ac-
cumulated difference. In x'ear 36, with the mortgage finally
repaid, the non profits cost $8.7 million less than shelter
allowances. But this is vastly exceeded by the $63.5 million
in interest charges on the accumulated difference. The gap
continues to grow with time.
The study demonstrates that even using the most conser-
vative cost assumptions for non profit housing and an in-
flated price for a shelter allowance program, by Year 50 the
differential cost between the two programs exceeds $2.2
billion.
"And the enormous total relates to just 1,000 needy
households." noted Mr. Dewsan. "The Ontario government
has recently built or committed units for some 45,(100 rent
geared to income households. The excess cast in the long
term, compared with the efficient shelter allowance alter-
native, approaches a staggering $100 billion."
"There is a lesson here for taxpayers and governments,"
he concluded. "Our current fiscal crises at every level of
government are largely attributable to a failure to consider
the long term costs of government programs. It is time to
re-examine the massive government commitment to non
profit housing before we make things any worse."
Queen's Park Report
Anne Swarbrick, M.P.P.
Scarborough West
MPP Anne Swarbrick says that she appaluds the govern-
ment's actions to try to protect Ontarians against the harm-
ful effects of the proposed North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA).
I am proud to be part of a government that is prepared
to do everything within its power to protect the people of
Ontario from the ill effects of the proposed North American
Free Trade Agreement," says MPP Anne Swarbrick.
Premier Bob Rae has announced that the Ontario govern-
ment has decided to act on a number of fronts to protect On-
tario's interests against the harmful effects of the proposed
NAFTA.
MPP Swarbrick said that recent federal government
trade and economic policies, combined with a global reces-
sion, have caused great hardship for all Ontarians, in-
cluding the people of Scarborough.
"Rte original free trade agreement brought us lost jobs,
permanent plant closures and a recession, the effects of
which are still with us today. Now, the federal government
has rammed through another harmful trade deal. Our
government opposes NAFTA because we believe it will only
add to the harm already done to Ontario by the original
Free Trade Agreement," says bIPP Swarbrick. "This
government is not prepared to let Ontarians be dealt a dou-
ble blow...
In addition to launching a court challenge of the North
American Free Trade Agreement in the Ontario Court of
Appeal, the Ontario government is also introducing other
measures, including:
Legislation, to be introudeed soon. to control the transfer
of water out of, into, or among Ontario's seven drainage
basins:
Amendments to the Power Corporation Act to protect On-
tarians from NAFTA's potential impact on the province's
electricity supply.
An Ontario government request for an immediate Na-
tional Energy Board hearing on the security of Ontario's
energy supply:
New performance requuvments for Ontario's green
technology develoar>mt pirogr'ams to encourage the
developrnent of leading edge industries in the province and
Financial support for an Ontario based producers'
association, including industry and labour or a cooperative,
to pursue a "social dumping" case before Revenue Canada
and the Canadian International Trade Tribunal.
Social dumping is said to occur %bei governments create
an unfair advantage for their exporting firms by repressing
wages and basic human rights, and by failing to enact or en-
force labour and environmental standards that meet inter-
national norms.
MPP Swarbrick said that while trade is essential to jobs
and the revitalization of the economy. NAFTA does not
represent a sound basis for Ontario's economic future.
"The province will continue to pursue and promote inter-
national trade and investment that help renew the economy
and port people back to work. And we will continue to
safeguard the interests of the people of Ontario,'. MPP
Swarbrick says.
Single Women Buyers First
The proportion of single women buying resale horses in
Toronto has increased substantially, according to a study
released by Royal LePage.
The Royal LePage Homebuyer Survey analyzed the
demographics of thousands of Canadian home buyers dur-
ing the first nine months of 1993. It found that more single
women are buying homes than single inert. In fact, Toronto
has the second greatest percentage of woolen buyers in
Canada, next to Vancouver.
Women now account for 56.8 percent of all home pur-
chases by singles, close to 4 percent higher than last year.
Male buyers declined 4 percent, dropping to 43.2 percent.
As a whole, singles represented 27 percent of market activi-
ty, up 2 percent over 1992.
"There are a number of probable influences behind this
trend," says Gino Romanese. Royal LePage Vice President
& Regional Manager, "including improving income levels,
the realization that buying a home is a hedge against rent
incases, and social trends like people waiting longer to get
married.
"Whatever the factors, it's apparent that more and more
single women in Toronto now have the motivation and the

A New Beautiful Restaurant
The Toronto Prince Hotel
is aiming to attract the ci-
ty's discriminating diners
to its North York location
with the Sept. 15th opening
of Le Continental. a spec-
tacular new restaurant
within the newly renovated
hotel. The phased reopen-
ing of the hotel es now
almost complete, with only
the final block of guest
rooms due to be unveiled
early in !November, with a
Grand Gala celebration to
follow.
The new restaurant
replaces a room with the
same name that had been
part of the original design
of the hotel.
'-The old restaurant was
successful in its time,"
says Hotel General
Manager Tony Schwarz,"
but changing styles and
changing expectations
among our guests had left
it looking quite old fashion-
ed. We took advantage of
the hotel renovation to
create an entirely new
room which would rival the
best that Toronto has to of-
fer."
Original concept for the
new Le Continental was by
Mr. Hitoshi Kamura, ar-
chitect with the firm
responsible for the hotel
renovation, Shimizu
Canada: the concept was
realized by Toronto ar-
chitect Dermot Sweeny.
Among the great joys of
this project was the sup-
port we received from our
client," says Dermot.
"Often on a job that is as in-
novative as this the design
team has to devote a good
part of its energy to justify-
ing and defending the
work. Both Shimizu and the
Prince group have given us
all the support and en-
couragement we could
have hoped for. As a result
we have been able to put
maximum effort into the
room itself, and I think it
shows in attention to detail
and impeccable finish."
The old Le Continental
was one large space,
capable of seating 150
diners. In its reincarnation
it has become a cluster of
smaller rooms, catering to
a wide range of private
events as well as conven-
tional restaurant dining.
There is a main room
seating 70, and a group of
four private rooms. all
served from a separate Le
Continental kitchen.
The designers worked
hard to design a space
which. though spectacular.
provides the comfort and
intimacy which today's
diners expect. In this sense
it is a natural extension of
the new look of the Toronto
Prince Hotel, which
features the abundant use
of light and a palette of
natural colours drawn
from the hotel's park like
environment.
"The approach to Le
Continental is all impor-
tant," Sweeny explains.
"The feeling of being
welcome develops in
stages. First there's the at-
mosphere you feel as you
draw near. Le Continental
has an open entrance, with
no doors to negotiate, and
the sound of a grand piano
playing from the
restaurant attracts atten-
tion from the main lobby.
At the entrance you are
greeted, which is an impor-
tant part of the welcome.
but just as important is the
space around you. You'll
experience a vaulted ceil-
ing, natural light from win-
dows overlooking the
gardens, richly textured
walls, light coloured
woods. Nothing over-
whelming, nothing in-
ti midating. From there you
enter the dining area, a
space surrounded by a low
curved wall, creating a
secure, comfortable, pro-
tected feeling. Or you take
three steps up to the
private rooms, each of
which interprets the style
of the main room in an in-
dividual way."
Everything in Le Con-
tinental is hand made,
custom designed, one of a
kind, even the walls, which
were created by Toronto
faux painting expert Debra
Archibald. The main room
is predominantly cobalt
blue, while the private
rooms are finished in tones
of terra cotta, burnt sienna,
okra, and muted eggplant.
Furnishings and millwork
are in natural blond woods,
all unstained. The carpet
was designed and woven
specifically for Le Con-
tinental.
Light, both natural and
artificial, is an important
part of the design. It is
reflected from the white
vaulted ceiling and concen-
trated over individual
tables to enhance the feel-
ing of intimacy. Blinds on
the windows and levels of
lighting are electronically
activated.
The centrepiece of the
room is a climate controll-
ed wine cellar. actually a
wine pavilion, two steps up
from the dining floor.
Guests may browse
through the racks and
make their own wine selec-
tion or be assisted by a
wine specialist.
Each of the private
rooms provides a different
envinxeemnt. The smallest
is oval, and lends itself to a
board -room style gather-
ing. The largest can be
divided into two smaller
rooms by a movable wall.
The fourth private mom
has a fireplace and an
anteroom, and will be a
popular choice for wed-
dings and similar recep-
t ions.
"Private functions have
always been a large part of
our business at the
Prince," says General
Manager Schwarz. "We
had identified a need for an
attractive venue for
smaller corporate and
family events. The concept
of private rooms within a
busv and popular
restaurant answers this
need in a new way."
I.e Continental is open for
luncheon weekdays bet-
ween 12 and 2:30 p.m. and
for dinner from 6 to 10 p.m.
Monday through Saturday.

Pumpkin
Party At
Black Creek
It's impossible to tell
when a child's fascination
with pumpkins begins,
whether it's with the Peter
Peter Pumpkin -eater
rhymes, Cinderella's
magical pumpkin coach, or
with that first thrilling
Hallowe'en celebration,
when the child chooses the
pumpkin that becomes the
family Jack-o'-lantern.
Then fascination turns to
fun. They realize that once
you get the top off, and
plunge in up to your elbows
to scoop out the pulp, it's
more fun than squishing
mud between your toes.

pkin Party for Kids" (and

Bill Watt's Worlds
ON STAGE:
The splashier theatrical
openings of recent years in
our town have been of new
works. . Cats, Les
Miserables. Miss Saigon.
The Phantom et al. Show
Boat, on the other hand,
has been around for six or
more decades and there's
hardly anyone who hasn't
seen it or knows of it. It has
joined Porgy and Bess in
becoming a virtual folk
opera.
The last time we saw
Show Boat was at the
Limelight Dinner Theatre
when it was still literally in
an old church basement.
Its latest docking is at the
Main Stage Theatre of the
new North Fork Perform-
ing Arts Centre in a
superbly lavish new Livent
production directed by the
renowned Harold Prince.
We risk approaching a
cliche in stating that
everything old is new
again. Most of the old
songs -Why Do I Love You'
Make Believe. You Are
Love. a' Man River, Bill
and other favourites -have
been retained in fresh up-
dated orchestrations by
William Brown. As well,
the new choreography of
Susan Stroman is spritely
and vigorous.
The cast is huge -this new
version is almost
spectacle -and. as always.
Mr. Prince marshals it well
wli le never forgetting that
there are principal roles.
On Show Boat there are ten
and each one is filled to vir-
tual perfection.
Cap'n Andy holds the
divergent plot lines
together• the mortar in the
brickwork as it were. The
late Charles Winninger
created the role both on
Broadway and later on the
silver screen. Over the
years. his playing of it has
come to be considered
definitive and most others
are measured against his.
It's a silly distinction and
regrettably, many fine ac-
tors have suffered because
of it. One recalls the savag-
ing that Donald O'Connor
received from the critics
when he essayed the role.
In this latest version
Cap'n Andy is played by
the redoubtable Robert
Morse and The Column
makes so bold as to suggest
that if an accolade of
definitive must be accord-
ed, let it be to this
gentleman's performance.
He's kind, sometimes just a
tad muddled but always a
man whose love of the
Show Boat is exceeded only
by the love for his wife and
their daughter. A nice
characterization.
He sings decently and
when dancing he swings, as
F.P.Wodehouse might
have state it, a dashed effi-
cient foot.
Elaine Stritch is directed
to make rather more of the
role of his wife Parthy than
necessary but what she
does, she does excellently.
Watch and listen to her
crooning of Why Do I Love
You' to the new born Kim.
If that moment doesn't
touch you. check to see if
you still have a pulse.
Rebecca Luker is
Magnolia and brings a
vitality to the part that's
frequently missing.
Magnolia is not insipid. She
has strength and
character. Miss Luker cap-
tures them both in her ac-
ting and singing.
Mark Jacoby as her hus-
band Gaylord Ravenal also
finds depth in the role that
others have missed in the
past. Ravenal is not a
wastrel but rather a man of
decent instincts. As Cap'n
Andy remarks to him, his
only problem is that he was
meant to be a gentleman
but tries to work for a hv-
ing. And. of course, his fine
voice is a delight on its
own.
Joel Blum and Dorothy.
Stanley are the delightfully
comedic Frank and Ellie
but deliver more than sim-
ple comedy relief. Their
dancing is dazzling. The
former especially, does an
eccentric dance, the likes
of which hasn't been seen
since the glory days of the
young Buddy Ebben.
Lonette McKee is Julie.
Astute readers will have
noted we've said she is
Julie: she doesn't just play
the role. One aches for her
while thrilling to her
wonderful singing. Her Bill
By Marsha Boulton
-�� Around and About
Your Dining & Entertainment Guide
deserves its show stopper
achievement.
Tammy Ametson as the
grown up Kim, daughter of
Magnolia and Gaylord,
dances up a storm. Sorry
about the cliche but we
can't think of a better w•ay
to describe her spirit and
technique.
Gretha Boston is the wise
Queenie and serves nicely
as the framework for
Michel Bell as her Joe. Mr.
Bell sings and reprises 01'
Man River several times
and the pleasure of hearing
it remains undiminished
with each hearing.
The Column suggests
that one's pleasure in see-
ing Show Boat will remain
undiminished after many
viewings which is what we
recommend. And that's our
highest accolade.
AFTERGLOW:ON E
Readers will be aware
that The Column has
followed the construction of
the Performing Arts Cen-
tre since its beginning and
will wish comments on the
finished product.
It's all that could have
been wished and more.
Seating in the Main Stage
Theatre is comfortable and
all seats -all' offer a good
view of the stage. It's
literally correct that seats
are good, better and best.
The halls are spacious and
all levels are easilv ac-
cessible. The only possible
misgiving one might have
is the hard flooring in part
of the lower auditorium. It
occurs to us that it could be
slippery during the winter
months when some might
be gauche enough to keep
on their winter footwear.
Simply stated, North
York can be justifiably pro-
ud of this latest ac-
complishment. And, it

ELSE: WH ERE :
With all the deserved fan-
fare surrounding the open-
ing of Show Boat, one needs
to be reminded that there
are other openings around
town.

New France presented a cornu-
copia of new plant and animal life
to its explorers. Among these
neer-seen- before oddities, the
skunk must ha\,e presented no
uncertain surprise to European
settlers who had neer expert
enced its odoriferous nature.
Michel Sarrazin, the colony's
first natural scientist. abandoned
an attempt to analyze the crea-
ture's anatomy because "it had a
frightful smell. capable of making
a whole canton (district) desert."
The 26 -year-old French sur-
, -eon came to hew France in 168
and became surgeon -major of
the troops at Ville -Marie and
Quebec City.
Sarrazin's hobby was scientific
endea,.ours and he de%oted him-
self to investigating the indige-
nous flora and fauna. which pre-
sented many uncharted species.
Initially. he would risk Iroquois

In 1699 the Royal Academy
of Sciences in Paris honoured
Sarrazin by nam-

responding
member. cse
Although sur-
gical techniques P R
were far from
ad%anced and
anesthetics quite primitive, in
1700 Sarrazin performed a breast
cancer operation on a nun. It may
have been the first of its kind in
New France and his biographer.
Andre Valle, cites this as an
example of Sarrazin's "profes-
sional conscious. surgical ability
and religious and moral valour."
Epidemics of flu and yellow
fever were a constant problem. In
his quest for cures and remedies.
Sarrazin gained the trust of the
nati, a people and sought their
suggestions.
In 1702 a smallpox epidemic
killed 2.000. lasing his skills as a

Massey Hall celebrates
its centenary on June 14,
1994. One of the early
celebratory events is the
publication of Intimate
Grandeur, One Hundred
Years at Massey Hall by
William Kilbourn (Stod-
dart Publishing).
Thanks to Charles Cutts
and Viviene Kugler we
found ourself on stage at
Massey Hall for its launch.
We hadn't been on stage
there since the old boxing
days. "The best fights of
all, go at Massey Hall" -and
it was a bit of a hoot to mix,
mingle and schmooze with
what's left of the city's
cultural elite.
Among the far too many
to be mentioned were
Shirley Anne Brown (stain-
ed glass restorer), conduc-
tor Eugene Kash, Lorraine
Thomson and Knowlton
Nash ( Where was
Sy 1 vi a-"Chao-Choo "-Train,
their acolyte?), Allan
Fotheringham (marginally
more gracious than John
Burgess), and Arnold Edin-

taker, the grand old
gentleman of theatre
reviewers.
There was entertainment
by Dinah Christie and Tom
Kneebone and music by the
Nic Gotham Trio.
The champagne flowed,
the nosh were essential
nibbles -this was Toronto

and the proverbial good
time was had by all.
The book sounds good:
we'll await a reviewer's
copy and advise our
readers as and when.

KIDS' SAFETY VILLAGE
If all goes according to plan, in the Spring of 1994, the
children of Durham Region will have a marvellous
"village." where they will learn the fundamentals of traf-
fice, rail, bicycle, pedestrian and "streetsmart" safety.
Sponsored by the Optimists Club of Ajax and the Rotary
Qub of Oshawa Parkwood, and supported by many
Durham Region businesses the village will feature a
business section. streets and authentic traffic signals and
railway crossings to teach safety in a realistic way.
Many of the miniature buildings have already been spon-
sored by local businesses, for instance, CN will be providing
railway tracks and crossing gates, Dupont of Canada will
erect a scaled down version of its own Ajax plant and
several more have already promised their support.
But there are lots of open spaces for buildings and land-

in this way and would like to get involved call Ken McKen-
zie at 683-5290. I'm hoping to get some "under construction"

Make Garments
For Needy Kids
Knitters, here's a chance
to put your talent to work
for a good cause.
If vow can knit• and you
would like to help make
sure Canadian kids keep
warm this winter. Knit for
Kids needs you. A program
organized by Lewiscraft in
cooperation with The
Salvation Army and
Paton, Knit for Kitts is
aimed at providing mit-
tens. scarves and hats to
needy children across the
country.
Participating knitters
who purchase designated
yarn from Lewiscraft will
be provided free patterns
for warm mitten and other
knitted items. Consumers
may return completed
garments to the store along
with the receipt of pur-
chase for the yarn and
Lewiscraft will reimburse
the purchase price. All
knitted items will be
distributed to youngsters in
need by members of The
Salvation Army in time for
Christmas.
The program began on a
local level in Ottawa in 1986
when customers of one
store donated more than
200 pairs of handknitted
mitts for children there.
Since then, the campaign
has gathered more than
79,000 assorted knitted
items.
This is the eighth season
for this very popular pro-
gram. All 77 stores across
Canada are participating
in the Knit for Kids cam-
paign, which continues un-
til Dec. 11. 1993.

Tips On Healthy Travel
Travelling With Children
For those of you who are
planning a trip with your
little ones, here are a few
helpful tips from St.
Michael's Hospital Travel
Clinic. Travelling with
children takes extra plann-
ing to make things go
smoothly for everyone in-
volved. Try to play the
travelling time so that it
falls during your child's
regular sleeping hours.
Check with your airline
when you book your flight
to see if any special child's
meals are available. Also,
find out if the airline allows
safety seats or offers
bassinets for infants on
their flights.
St. Michael's Hospital
Travel Clinic is located at
61 Queen St. E. downtown
Toronto. It offers pre-
travel counselling and im-
munization to both
business and leisure
travellers. For more infor-
mation you can call the
clinic at (416) 1167-7425.
Travellers First ;tid Kit
When you are travelling
to another country, you
want to make sure that you
have any medical supplies
you might need. Here is a
sample from the Travel
Clinic at St. Michael's
Hospital of some things you
should put in a travel first
aid kit.
Bandages, tweezers, a
pocket knife, first aid tape,
Q -tips, first aid spray, an-
tibiotic ointment, anti-
fungal cream, a pain
reliever, a decongestant
and an antihistamine, an-
tacid tablets, medicine for
motion sickness, anti -
diarrhea medicine,
hypodermic needles, water
purification tablets,
surgical scrub, condoms.
Also, make sure you've
got your prescription
medication and an extra
set of glasses or contact
lenses.
Toronto's First Dome
Celebrates 25th Birthday
Oct. 26th marks the 25th
anniversary of the
McLaughlin Planetarium
of the Royal Ontario
Museum (ROM). To
celebrate, the Planetarium
is rolling back admission
prices to 1968 rates for the
fust three days of its new
star show, 'line Great
Dinosaur Caper: A
Mesozoic Mystery—. Ad-
mission to the show will be
just one dollar per person
on opening weekend from
Fri. Nov. 12th to Sun. Nov.
14th.
In 1964, 94 -year old Col-
onel R. S. McLaughlin,
Chairman of the Board of
General Motors, offered to
donate funds for a
planetanum at the Royal
Ontario Museum. In addi-
tion to the $2,250,000 cost of
the building and equip-
ment. McLaughlin pro%id-
ed a $1,000.0W trust fund
for the Planetarium's con-
tinuing development. For
McLaughlin, the opening of
the Planetarium fulfilled a
30 -year dream.
In his letter to the direc-
tor of the ROM, making of-
ficial his generous gift,
McLaughlin stated, "...I
want everything to be of
the highest order and first-
class in every way." Tom
Clarke, head of the
Planetarium since 1976 and
staff member since the
beginning says, "That has
been our guiding principle
for the past 25 years."
Clarke looks back fondly
on his 25 years with the
Planetarium. "In the early
days, everything was done
live so we learned to be
very dramatic lecturers.
Our facilities are more
sophisticated now with
everything coordinated by
computers. It's sometimes
been a challenge to come
up with new and exciting
programs, but it's been lots
of fun. I still like to see the
awestruck wonder of the
kindergarten kids when
they see the night sky on
the inside of the domed
ceiling for the first time."
Construction of the
McLaughlin Planetarium
began in December 1966.
On Sat. ()ct. 26, 1968 the
building opened with a gala
party officiated by
Premier John Robarts and
Planetarium head curator
Henry King. A week of
members' previews follow-
ed and the Planetarium of-
ficially opened to the public
on Sat. Nov. and. 11968 with
its first star show introduc-
ing audiences to the night
sky and basic astronomy.
"Venture into Space".
The Planetarium's new
star show, "the Great
Dinosaur Caper: A
Mesozoic Murder
Mystery... opens on Fri.
Nov. 12th. In this light-
hearted family show.
Private Investigator
Tyrone Rex and his young
friend Sarah Topps are hot
on the trail of one of the
great mysteries of all time
- the disappearance of the
dinosaurs 65 million years
ago.
The McLaughlin
Planetarium is located at
100 Queen's Park, im-
mediately south of the
main ROM building, at the
Museum subway stop. The
Planetarium is wheelchair
accessible. It is open from
10 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily,
Tuesdays and Thursdays rsdays to
