Good job, Eric Harvie! You continue to surprise! With some more minutes added from yesterday, we travelled over 2,500km! This brings us all the way to the bustling metropolis; Toronto!

Toronto, the capital of the province of Ontario, is a major Canadian city along Lake Ontario’s northwestern shore. It's a dynamic metropolis with a core of soaring skyscrapers, all dwarfed by the iconic, free-standing CN Tower. Toronto also has many green spaces, from the orderly oval of Queen’s Park to 400-acre High Park and its trails, sports facilities and zoo.

Another amazing day of reading and cross-Canada travels! Today, we read for over one thousand collective minutes! We also had some retroactive minutes logged from the day before. All totalled up, our reading took us from BC, across all of Alberta, and more than halfway into the flat farmlands of Saskatchewan.

Keep up the good reading, Eric Harvie!
