Canada, As I See It

#81 - The Great Toronto Fire of 1904


Listen Later

Hello everyone! Canada, as I see it is back after a summer hiatus.

The third season (yeah, that's what I'm calling it) begins as I take a look at the Great Toronto Fire.

Many of the fire rules and regulations in place today, were enacted due to this event.


Join me, as I take you through the events of that evening in mid-April 1904.

 

Remember, you can check out links about anything I mention during the show – https://whorpole.ca

 

If you do have any questions, or is there something that you would like me to talk about?

 

I encourage you to contact me at [email protected] – and let me know - I'll mention you on the show (unless you don't want me to) – and you'll forever be able to say, “I got James to say my name, way back before he was a super celebrity!”

 

Check out these links mentioned in this show – and others, just because:
