[2] Dutchman Jean-Louis Brenninkmeijer moved to Canada in 1999 for a two-year stint of specialty retail management training at his family's company C&A Canadian stores.

[6] Brenninkmeijer sent emails to eight model railway clubs in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) requesting assistance to realize his vision for a miniature Canada.

[5] Only David MacLean, a civil engineer[7] and president of The Model Railroad Club of Toronto, agreed to consider the project, and later met with Brenninkmeijer at Square One Shopping Centre in Mississauga.

[1] The attraction was moved to 10 Dundas Street East in Toronto when two underground storeys[5] of that building were vacated by GoodLife Fitness in mid-2019.

[5] During the morning portion, sound effects include chirping birds, barking dogs, and garbage trucks making rounds.

[8] The replica of the Rogers Centre, which cost $60,000 to build and occupies a space of 5 by 5 feet (1.5 by 1.5 m),[5] has a functional retractable roof and contains a scoreboard that will show highlights from the preceding day's Toronto Blue Jays game.

[3] The field depicts the instance Joe Carter hit a walk-off home run to clinch the Blue Jays' victory in the 1993 World Series against the Philadelphia Phillies.

[4] Also depicted are historic sites and structures such as the Distillery District, Royal York Hotel, St. Lawrence Market, and Prince Edward Viaduct.

[14] The Vancouver display includes Stanley Park, the Gastown neighbourhood with Dr. Sun Yat-Sen Classical Chinese Garden, and the Granville Market.

[8] The design team also plans to add a depiction of the memorial of shoes and stuffed toys at the Centennial Flame on Parliament Hill in Ottawa that occurred after the discovery of unmarked graves at the Kamloops Indian Residential School.

[10][2] These will be used to create two 1⁄87-scale replica 3D printed models of the individual, one of which can be placed within the exhibit at a location chosen by the visitor,[1] and the other taken home as a souvenir.
