When I first moved to Canada from Ukraine with my family, one of my most confusing experiences as a newcomer happened somewhere I never expected — Canadian Tire. It all started when I needed to buy a thermos for my son's school lunch. A friend suggested heading to Canadian Tire, but I couldn't understand why. I knew what "Canadian" meant, and I definitely knew what a "tire" was. So why was I being sent to an auto shop for lunch supplies? Did Canadians really buy soup containers at gas stations? Trusting my friend, I drove over expecting to find a garage. Instead, I pulled up to a massive department store selling everything from kitchen appliances and home essentials to sporting goods and car parts. Safe to say, none of my English classes had prepared me for what Canadian Tire actually sells. And as I explored the aisles, I quickly realized there was a lot more to this iconic Canadian store than its name suggested. The iconic storefront and auto centre entrance at Canadian Tire.
