It was a pleasure guiding this wonderful Canadian family from Calgary through Toronto today! ๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ
We enjoyed some iconic Canadian flavours, including the famous Peameal Bacon Sandwich and a classic Beaver Tail ๐Ÿฅ“๐Ÿฆซ๐Ÿ. Thank you for bringing such great energy and smiles to the tour!

Did you know the Peameal Bacon Sandwich was invented right here in Toronto at the historic St. Lawrence Market?

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canada is 158 years old now!

But did you know Toronto is 33 years older? ๐Ÿคฏ

In 1793, the British Crown acquired it through the โ€œToronto Purchaseโ€ agreement with the Mississauga First Nation ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿชถ in 1787. The agreed-upon payment for the land was approximately ยฃ1,700, along with goods such as bales of cloth, axes, and other trading items ๐Ÿงบ๐Ÿช“.

It was originally named York in 1793, but in 1834, the town of York became the city of Toronto ๐Ÿ™๏ธ. The reason for the name change was because York was too similar to New York ๐Ÿ—ฝ and NYC was already established at this time.

Toronto is a word that originates from the Mohawk word โ€œTkaronto,โ€ meaning โ€œthe place in the water where the trees are standingโ€ ๐ŸŒŠ๐ŸŒฒ.(or "plenty" depending on which indigenous people you ask)

๐Ÿ‡จ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Canada officially became a country on July 1, 1867, when the Constitution Act united Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into the Dominion of Canada. This established Canada as its own nation within the British Empire ๐Ÿ‘‘.

While the country became more and more independent over time, July 1, 1867, is recognized as Canadaโ€™s birthday ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿ.
