From a firefighter climbing a very high ladder to collect cash donations from a downtown hotel to a foggy look at the first day of school, this week's Throwback Thursday offers a glimpse of local life during the first week of September in decades past.
This also includes a shot of the winning and losing teams posing with a lacrosse championship photo (something you don't see anymore) and a great photo of the start of the 2011 Labour Day Classic by photographer Chuck Nisbett, who was back on that beat this past long weekend.
You can explore local history through the pages of The Citizen, which are digitized and online at pgnewspapers.pgpl.ca.
