Discount Wonderland tickets on sale soon
The Staff Association Office tells us that they are completely sold out of Canada's Wonderland $24 discount tickets. But not to worry: Effective August 26, discount tickets will be available for $16, a 50 per cent saving.
The park is open daily until Labour Day, after which it'll be open only on weekends until it closes for the season on October 8.
For more information and for tickets, call Pat Martin at the Staff Association Office at ext. 3566 or Sue Fraser at ext. 2968.

Passing the torch
John Morris, a colleague in the news bureau of Information and Public Affairs, will be writing the daily bulletin for the remainder of this week. Chris Redmond will return next week and again will be responsible for the bulletin. Thanks for reading and for keeping me on my toes.
Finally, in keeping with yesterday's round of guess-the-celebrity birthday announcements, a slumping Toronto Blue Jay player who had his best years playing on the shores of another Great Lake turns 39 today, while Penny Marshall's less successful half turns 47.
