Scotland's Impact on Canada
Why Canada, you might ask? The answer lies in the profound and lasting influence of Scotland on Canada's development. Scots have played pivotal roles in shaping this nation from its very inception. From state governance to commerce, Scots-Canadians have been the architects of progress in every sphere. Canada's eminent universities proudly bear the names of Scots who laid the foundations of their excellence. The connection is deep, and it's time to celebrate it in style!
