Colour slide. The picture is of the Thanksgiving Day road races on October 12, 1981, taken at St. George's Square. The road races are a series of marathons, with the picture depicting a lone runner in front of an ambulance van. There is a parked cream yellow Guelph police squad car in the background with a person leaning into the driver's window. There is also a group of people watching the race behind the van in the background. Beside the runner, there is a sign from the City of Guelph about road maitence on Wyndham Street as a part to revitalize downtown Guelph. Below that is another sign saying that the first hour is free parking. A Royal Trust and an Odeon Theatre is in the far background. |
