He won a humble prize for his efforts in 1867. He went far and wide to promote his song and performed it frequently and was a very proud Canadian. The city of Toronto has honoured him with 2 parks with his name the first at Yonge and Davisville within eyesite of his grave in Mount Pleasant Cemetery unfortunately they had to move this Garden to Yonge and Lawrence to accommodate the new Toronto subway.. The gardens are beautiful. Seeing as it is the 150 anniversary of this very Canadian patriotic song I would find it fitting the Royal Canadian Mint issue a coin His song has best promoted the Mapleleaf our emblem best in the past 150 years 1867-2017.<br />lAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08619666163152802073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7316604154163888979.post-63197050492192956692014-02-05T07:05:10.506-05:002014-02-05T07:05:10.506-05:00I believe that I will be delighted to review your ...I believe that I will be delighted to review your posts.

My historical interests are much lighter-weight than yours, but you might be amused by "Giorgio's Ukable Parodies" at www.ukableparodies.blogspot.com<br />G. C.
