Good morning!

Did you know? Canada's first Michelin-starred restaurants were awarded in Toronto in 2022. The Michelin Guide, which recommends outstanding restaurants and hotels, has expanded its presence in Canada to include Toronto and Vancouver.

This is all part of a suite of changes the Canadian Transport Agency (CTA) plans to roll out this year.
