The Scotiabank Waterfront Marathon Successfully Completed
By Junko Yamamoto, JSS Fundraising Chair.
The annual Waterfront Marathon sponsored by Scotiabank was held on October 18th. We had very mild weather two days earlier. So I was hoping the weather would stay warm until the day of the marathon, but it did not turn out that way.

The air was crisp with a beautiful blue sky and brilliant sunshine.
