There is a cultural assessment report from the city of Mississauga https://www.mississauga.ca/wp-conte...ral-Heritage-Report-Clarkson-Lakeshore-EA.pdf

Go to section 3.3.2 for some clues as to why the jog exists. Lots of early high school memories from this area.

So far, December is shaping up to be a good month as I was able to fly Friday, Saturday and Sunday - 8 flights and 94 minutes of flight time. No time for any post processing so you're seeing exactly what comes off the memory card.
