The mayor took a dunking in Lake Ontario during the final race in the annual CNE Mayors' Bathtub Derby. Mayor Lynn, who was taking part in the derby for the first time, had his bathtub sunk under him when he _ was rammed by the mayor of Sioux Lookout, John Parry. Lynn said Parry didn't see him when he rammed Lynn's eight- foot vessel. The tub itself was four feet long, made of fibreglass, and propelled by a 7!2 horsepower engine. The boat is only 40 inches wide, and, in Lynn's words, not terribly seaworthy. Twenty-three mayors were in competition.

Lynn was not the only mayor who lost his vessel. Seven other bathtubs flipped, he said.
