Laura Secord Chocolates While many Canadians know Laura Secord best as the name behind the chocolate company, the brand was actually named in her honour a century after her legendary 20-mile (32 km) journey in 1813—when she left American-occupied territory to warn British forces of an impending attack. (And yes, the chocolates are pretty great too.) 🍫 🇨🇦 #Canada #chocolate #LauraSecord
