At first glance, the Canadian Flyer looks like just another old sled. But when Emily and Matt rub the sled's maple leaf logo, they are whisked away on an exciting time-travel adventure. Each trip into the past takes them to a different region of Canada at different point in history. Join them as they encounter pirates, dinosaurs, Vikings and more!
