Trains and Tree Colours plus Canada's Flag

It's Thanksgiving Weekend in Canada! So This week, Kate ties a few topics together. Thanksgiving; fall tree-leaf colors; and the establishment of a train service to Haliburton County that had many uses - including fall leaf-color tourism. Plus, many don't realize how recently (1965) Canada adopted its instantly recognizable Maple Leaf Flag. It was a long divisive journey for many who didn't want to give up their traditional French and Bristish symbols. But most would now agree that the right decision was made in adopting the Maple Leaf Flag. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum.
