Lee Shimano, an author, historian, and a leading collector of memorabilia from the now-defunct, but long-renowned Canadian National Exhibition, spoke about her passion and the professional marathon swimming races and its heroes on today’s WOWSA Live with Ned Denison.

Shimano authored the authoritative book, Treasures of the CNE: Memorabilia and Tales from the Canadian National Exhibition that includes many photos of cherished memorabilia from the CNE. The first 180-page edition, published in 2017, offers valuable insights and information from the professional marathon swims in the 1920’s and 1930’s.
