Hidden Gems Toronto: HONEY, I SHRUNK THE COUNTRY! The story behind the creation of Little Canada
Show Notes

While growing up in Europe, Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer had a real passion for miniature trains. Later on in life, he developed a similar love for the country where work brought him for a two year stint. That country was Canada. He then had the brilliant idea of combining these two passions into one,  and though it took 11 years and millions of dollars to complete, the effort was well worth it.

He created Little Canada, a stunning exhibit that replicates major parts of Canada in a miniature but realistic and detailed fashion that literally takes your breath away. Jean-Louis tells us how it all came about and explains how thinking small, can sometimes pay big dividends.
