Egg McMuffin® Capital of Canada: Milton, Ontario

  • Fun Fact: Egg McMuffins were invented by Santa Barbara franchisee Herb Peterson and have featured Canadian bacon since day one
  • Milton is one of Canada's fastest-growing communities and offers the best of both world's with proximity to Toronto and stunning natural landmarks like the Niagara Escarpment

McFlurry® Capital of Canada: Waterloo, Ontario

  • Fun fact: The McFlurry® was invented in Bathurst, New Brunswick by franchisee Ron McLellan in 1995
  • Waterloo is a growing city with two universities, big-Canadian business and a population of active start-ups

McDonald's Poutine Capital of Canada: Sept-Iles, Quebec

  • Fun fact: It's not just Sept-IIes residents who love McDonald's poutine, the top five cities are all located in Quebec
  • Found between the Sainte-Marguerite and Moisie Rivers, on the north shore of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence, the seven islands include: La Grosse Boule; La Petite Boule; La Grande Basque; La Petite Basque; Île Manowin; Île du Corossol; and Îlets Dequen

Quarter Pounder with Cheese® and McDouble® Capital of Canada: North Battleford, Saskatchewan

  • Fun fact: All of the 100% pure Canadian beef sourced by McDonald's Canada comes from Canadian ranchers
  • North Battleford is found between the banks of the scenic North Saskatchewan and Battle Rivers and is connected to its sister-city Battleford by a 4km-long Island named 'Finlyason Island, together these cities are called the 'Battlefords'

Chicken McNuggets® Capital of Canada: Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador

  • A scenic city traversed by the Peace River, the lush land of the Peace River Valley and close to Charlie Lake

Triple Thick Milkshake® Capital of Canada: Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan

  • Fun fact: The founder of McDonald's, Ray Kroc, used to sell multi-mixers and he wanted to know why the McDonald brothers were buying so many, and that's how McDonald's got its start
  • Residents of Moose Jaw are known as Moose Javians and the city's motto is "Surprisingly Unexpected", kind of like such a winter city being interested in icy cold milkshakes.

Vanilla Cone Capital of Canada: Steinbach, Manitoba

  • Fun fact: With normal winter temperatures well below zero degrees Celsius, even we can't explain why it's the Vanilla Cone capital!
  • At 50km outside of Winnipeg, Steinbach is Manitoba's third largest city and fastest growing community in the province and is primarily an agricultural community

*METHODOLOGY:
McDonald's Strategy and Insights team pulled the average sales units from a recent 52 week period on a per city basis and divided by the number of restaurants to determine which city, town or village would earn the coveted McDonald's Canada "Capitals" title for each classic menu item.
