Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer is from an unfathomably wealthy European family. After a successful career in the family business, he has the means and experience to live anywhere, and do anything. Jean-Louis chose our country and in this special Canada Day edition, we learn why and why he decided to invest millions of dollars in reminding us why. Jean-Louis has created Little Canada, Our Home and Miniature Land at Yonge and Dundas in Toronto. I met him there, and I can say it was one of the most exciting attractions I have visited. You have to see it to believe it. The imagination, creativity, and attention to detail are unlike anything I have seen. And when you leave, you are reminded about how wonderful, diverse and unique Canada is. As Brenninkmeijer's 90-year-old father said when he came to Canada for the first time, he said, "Here, the world is still okay." Some great takeaways: How an iconic family business moves from one generation to the next. How a model train set and valuable time with his Dad led him to Little Canada. What makes Canada so unique. Happy Canada Day. Let's chat soon. Tony |
