Hello everyone! Canada, as I see it is back after a summer hiatus.The third season (yeah, that's what I'm calling it) begins as I take a look at the Great Toronto Fire. Many of the fire rules and regulations in place today, were enacted due to this event. Join me, as I take you through the events of that evening in mid-April 1904.   Remember, you can check out links about anything I mention during the show – https://whorpole.ca   If you do have any questions, or is there something that you would like me to talk about?   I encourage you to contact me at AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca – and let me know - I'll mention you on the show (unless you don't want me to) – and you'll forever be able to say, “I got James to say my name, way back before he was a super celebrity!”   Check out these links mentioned in this show – and others, just because: Overview of the Great Toronto Firehttps://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/great-fire-of-toronto-1904   More photos of the aftermath of the firehttps://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/great-fire-of-toronto-1904   A map of Toronto around that time – 1903 https://www.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=d38469bfb363441d98b21f239adfd0a3   My Blog:https://whorpole.ca/blog/   If YOU want to be a part of MY podcast,send me a recording of you saying,“This podcast is produced by the Fireside Chat Club of Canada”.   Send it via Facebook Messenger, or by email to: AsISeeIt@whorpole.ca   AND, you can also contribute, buy Buying Me A Coffee.
