HAPPY CANADA DAY!
Did you know that...
- the Canadian motto A Mari Usque ad Mare, means "From sea to sea."?
- our capital city, Ottawa, was originally named Bytown after Colonel John
By, who headquartered there while building the Rideau Canal to connect the
Ottawa River with Lake Ontario?
- a black bear cub from Canada named Winnipeg ( “Winnie,” for
short) was one of the most popular attractions at the London Zoo after it
was donated to the zoo in 1915. Winnie became a favorite of Christopher Robin
Milne and inspired the stories written by his father, A.A. Milne, about Winnie-the-Pooh?
