Oh Canada!
CANADA – Sutton was founded in 1983 by Canadians who wanted to foster personalized relationships between REALTORS® and their customers. Sutton was the first real estate company to offer each of its REALTORS® an email and customizable website at the industry-renowned sutton.com address to enhance their marketing strategies.
As a proudly Canadian company, we celebrate our country’s 156th birthday by recognizing some of what makes it so special:
Ours is the largest country in the Western hemisphere and the second largest country in the world after Russia. We have the longest coastline on Earth at 202,080 km or 125,567 miles.
There are more than 2,500 hockey rinks in Canada helping our kids excel at the sport; more than 40% of players in the NHL are Canadian, which is the highest representation from any one country.
Our literacy rate (reading and writing) is among the best in the world at 99%. Margaret Atwood, Farley Mowat, Leonard Cohen, and Malcolm Gladwell are just some of the writers who have received international acclaim.
Canada ranks fourth in the world for its educational systems, according to multiple organizations including UNESCO.
More than half of the world’s lakes are in Canada; we have more than 3 million lakes including 31,700 that are considered large. We are the fourth biggest producer of hydro electric power in the world.
Canada ranks 15th in the world for life expectancy (an average of 82.6 years). By comparison, the USA is rated 57th with an average of 76.33 years.
About half of Canada's landmass is covered by forest making it the third most forested country in the world and a major producer of lumber.
Our country is multicultural: in addition to being officially bilingual, Canada is home to 1.4 million indigenous and Aboriginal people, and annually welcomes thousands of new immigrants.
Canadians are well known for being humble, but we have so much to brag about this Canada Day!
