| General Description : | 26 September 2010 The Scotiabank Toronto Waterfront Marathon is an annual marathon held in Toronto, Ontario, Canada on the last Sunday in September. The race has quickly become one of the most prestigious in North America. The marathon meets international standards and is a qualifier for the Boston Marathon. The marathon is also an IAAF Silver Label Road Race. At the 2010 edition of the race, race winners Kenneth Mungara and Sharon Cherop broke the men's and women's course records with the fastest marathon runs ever recorded on Canadian soil. |
| Front Description : | Often mistakenly called the "Princess Gates," the monumental Princes' Gates were officially opened by princes Edward, Prince of Wales (later Edward VIII), and George (later The Duke of Kent), on August 31, 1927, during that year's CNE. They were built in the Beaux-Arts style to celebrate Canada's 60th anniversary of Confederation, and were originally to be called "The Diamond Jubilee of Confederation Gates." but the name was changed when it was found that the Princes were touring Canada the year of its dedication. They were opened on August 30, 1927 by Their Royal Highnesses, the Prince of Wales and Prince George. First to pass through the gate was a Veterans Parade, a tradition that later became the annual Warriors' Day Parade. |
