Mysteries of Canada

Mysteries of Canada was started by Bruce Ricketts in 1998 as a project to help Canadians better understand the history, geography, myths and legends of their own country. The site has grown over the years into a major site attracting visitors from all across Canada and the rest of the world. The site is used by 50+ schools across the country to help teach language, writing and history. It is used internationally as a language training asset. Certain stories and images from this site have been used in newspapers, TV, history books and other media.

This website is currently owned and operated by Hammerson Peters.
