Today we kick off The Great Canadian Blog Bash hosted by Whispered Inspirations, Mom vs. the Boys, Positively Pampered Patty, Good Girl Gone Green and Kat’s Confessions. It's all about celebrating our country's big day and uniting Canadian bloggers both old and new. And this year, they're kicking it off with a big Twitter party full of Canadian trivia and prizes sponsored by fabulous Canadian companies! Tune in tonight at 9:00pm and follow the hashtag #TGCBB.

I will also be giving away a $25 iTunes.ca gift card but before I do, I wanted to share some interesting facts about the largest city in Canada that I now call home - Toronto. Not only is it the capital of Ontario, it is also one of the busiest places in the country. There is always something to do, places to see and it seems as though there are construction cranes everywhere you look. Here are some other interesting facts about Toronto:

Welcome to Toronto Teacher Mom and thanks for joining in the Great Canadian Blog Bash of 2011! During this blog hop, you will have a chance to meet other great Canadian bloggers like my dear buddy Nugglemama from Nugglemama's Handful, and win some fabulous prizes.

A Giveaway Linky will be open so while you're hopping, you can enter to win some great Canadian prizes. Each blog may host their own giveaway, but in honour of Canada Day, all giveaways must have Canadian sponsors. This is an awesome way to show off some of our cool Canadian companies and support local stores.

Before you go, here's a little something you'd might like to learn about Toronto Teacher Mom:

I am a mom of two kids, aged 3 and 5, who are utterly adorable. I am married to a man who is very smart. His marriage proposal is proof of that.  I teach over 200 students who love French, or will at some point in my career. Okay, maybe not. But it's what I aim for. School is almost out but I'm already looking forward to a fresh start in September. Yoga, paper crafts, dance and teaching are some of my passions. I blog about my family and seek advice from, and virtual friendships with, fellow bloggers to help maintain my sanity and social skills. I also review products that are family-friendly and seek out products that are eco-friendly, organic and/or natural and love to host giveaways. I also write about local events and try to promote local businesses that may be of interest to families or are of educational value. I could go on and on and on about little ol' me. But that would probably kill the mystery. You are always more than welcome to leave me some comment love or send me an email if you have any deep thoughts to share or if you're dying to ask me what my secret talent is. C'mon, you know you want to...
