The Fairmont Royal York Hotel opened on June 11, 1929. A former railway hotel, The Royal York was built by the Canadian Pacific Railway, and is located directly across Front Street from Union Station.

Another interesting building that we pass on the way out of Toronto is the Roger’s Center, formerly the Skydome.

As we depart from Toronto, we drive past the CN Tower. The CN stands for Canadian National. The CN Tower was built in 1976 by Canadian National to demonstrate the strength of Canadian industry by building the tallest tower in the world.

As we travel along the Queen Elizabeth Way towards Niagara, we pass the Hamilton Harbor and some steel works.

This fort was built in 1793 by the British. Lieutenant Governor John Graves Simcoe authorized a garrison on the present site of Fort York.
