Discover Hidden Gems

This collection features unique landmarks across Canada, ranging from 19th-century history to modern urban art. It includes North America’s oldest grocery store, established in 1871, and a billion-year-old Precambrian rock relocated to Toronto’s Yorkville neighborhood. In Vancouver, the list highlights a 1972 bronze sculpture sitting in the harbor, a muzzle-loading cannon that has fired nightly since 1894, and a vibrant, colorfully painted laneway designed to transform functional urban space into a community hub.
