Sir John A. MacDonald

Sir John A. MacDonald was born on January 11, 1815 and died June 6, 1891. He grew up in a very poor family. Sir John was born in Glasgow, Scotland. When he was five years old he and his family moved to Kingston, Ontario where he spent his childhood.

Sir John started the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The CPR is a railway that transports passengers and freights. It also takes telegrams and shipments for shops. The CPR started in 1881 and was completed by 1886.

The CPR was brought through British Columbia in trade for joining Canada. The same trade went for Nova Scotia and New Brunswick which linked them to Quebec and Ontario. With the CPR built people can now travel to different parts of Canada. With new access to travel, it created new towns with hotels and travel stops. It made Canada's economy boom!

The Canadian Pacific Railway is still in use today. The CPR still ships goods all around Canada. The headquarters are in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. The CPR now has very few trains that take passengers. It is an amazing train that was thought of by the first prime minister of Canada.
