Book Launch: Mark Richardson, The Drive Across Canada

  • Canadian Automotive Museum 99 Simcoe Street South Oshawa, ON, L1H 4G7 Canada (map)

Join us at the Canadian Automotive Museum for the official book launch of The Drive Across Canada: The Remarkable Story of the Trans-Canada Highway by Mark Richardson!

Experience the story of one of the longest highways in the world, the Trans-Canada Highway, and the incredible people and events that shaped it. In this new book, automotive journalist Mark Richardson retraces his journey across the 7,700-kilometre highway, uncovering the triumphs and challenges of building a road that connects Canadians from coast to coast.

Richardson will share stories from his travels, some of the stories of the early adventurers who competed to cross the country before there were even roads to do so, as well as stories from his own travels, including encounters with extreme weather, personal reflections, and the people whose lives have been forever changed by the highway. Don’t miss this opportunity to meet the author, hear behind-the-scenes stories, and get your copy of The Drive Across Canada signed!

Please note, admission is free but advanced registration is required. Delicious complimentary refreshments will be provided by The Garage Guy.
