“It was the summer of 1793. The summer our city was founded” The first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada: John Graves Simcoe and his family sailed on the HMS Mississauga from Niagara to find a new capital for the new province. On board was a big friendly beast of a dog. He was a Newfoundland. His name was Jack Sharp.
Adam Bunch, a lively and intriguing storyteller, shares tale of how Jack Sharp found himself in very deep trouble soon after our city was founded. Through the life of Jack, Bunch regales his audiences with the Simcoe family’s experiences in the very early years of York.
