Thank you to @nativecentre (NCCT) for taking us on one of their First Story Tours last week. Special thanks in particular to our guide Charlie, who took us on an exploration of the deep Canadian Indigenous cultural roots of Tkaronto (Toronto), Ishpadinaa (Spadina Road), and the 60+ years history of the NCCT. We look forward to visiting again in the future!
