Description

In this new series, presenter William Crawley travels to Canada to explore the country's remarkable cultural connections with Ulster and discover the fascinating stories of the Ulstermen and women who helped shape its history.

In this episode, Crawley visits Amherst Island which has profound connections to the Ards Peninsula. He also learns how Toronto came to be known as "the Belfast of Canada" and discovers the city's connections with the Orange Order.
