| Notes: This event / display shown was mentioned in Zephyr (see right panel) as part of National Environment Week coverage. The date is June 1991 during Environment Week. Minister Browes, being from Toronto, would often appear at EC events in the GTA. This was the occasion of a one-week loan of artwork by Quebec artiste Diane Landry. The square panels represent the often-used phase, chance of showers, in meteorological forecasts. Ms. Landry named her work: It's gonna rain / Risque d'averses. Diane Landry was also in attendance. In 2026 she confirmed the correct name and spelling of her work, which was displayed on the lobby floor during the week. Many identities in the group photo have been found and are listed below the enlargement. |
 from Zephyr, p1, May - June 1991 edition Note: Zephyr was incorrect in both the exhibit's French name and the English translation. Correct name is: It's gonna rain / Risque d'averses. |
