FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

TORONTO, ON — The Institute for Canadian Citizenship (ICC) is proud to announce that Little Canada will be returning to the Canoo app effective May 12, 2025. The partnership is not just renewed, but also enhanced; whereas Little Canada previously welcomed newcomers via Canoo for just one year, Canoo members will now be able to enjoy exclusive programs at this exceptional Canadian attraction for multiple years.  

“Canoo is the best way for newcomers to discover and experience Canada, and a trip to Little Canada allows them to cross the whole country without ever leaving Toronto,” said Daniel Bernhard, CEO of the ICC. “This immigrant-founded business is a love letter to Canada. We are immensely happy to welcome Little Canada back onto Canoo and to do whatever we can to ensure Canoo members enjoy this essential Canadian experience.” 

Located in the heart of Toronto, Little Canada is a one-of-a-kind attraction that brings the stories, cities, and landscapes of our country to life—on a miniature scale. Conceived by Dutch-Canadian visionary Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer, Little Canada invites visitors on a two-hour journey of wonder, discovery, and delight that captures the spirit of the nation. Little Canada was the Attractions Ontario Attraction of the Year in 2022, 2023, and 2024, and a Trip Advisor Travellers’ Choice Award winner in 2023 and 2024. 

“We are proud to offer newcomers a warm Canadian welcome and invite them to connect with our stories, culture, and community,” says Brad Ford, President & CEO of Little Canada. “Just as our founder Jean-Louis experienced, when newcomers are welcomed and supported, they become passionate contributors to the rich fabric of Canadian society, and we believe the world needs more Canada.” 

The renewed partnership will launch on the Canoo app in early May, offering Canoo members the chance to tour Canada in miniature all summer long.
