The Princes' Gates are a monument in Toronto, Canada. It was officially opened on August 31st, 1937, on that years' CNE. The CNE is the Canadian National Exibition, a large event during the last week of summer. On the top of The gates stands the Goddesses Of Winged Victory, an angle holding a single maple leaf. In 1986, the Winged Victory angle was taken down and found to be seriously deteriorating. In 1987, she was replaced with a glass reinforced polymer copy. Someone has stolen her from the top of the gates and you must help me find her!
