TORONTO A new exhibit in Toronto features miniature landmarks and skylines from across Canada in a unique homage to the country. Dubbed Little Canada, Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer told CTV National News the idea for the animated mini replica of the nation’s familiar sites came from displays he’d seen while growing up in Europe. The founder and president of Little Canada says he’s also loved model trains since he was 12 years old. Anything that s miniature, I just grew a passion for, Brenninkmeijer said. Brenninkmeijer and his team of 50 model makers have essentially built a $24 million train set that switches from day to night with state-of-the-art LED lighting.
