"The Fellowship's message will spread north when
Rev. Dr. George Little, a Toronto United Church minister who is also
active in the temperance movement, learns of the Big Book in 1940,
orders a few copies, and gives two to a small group of alcoholics who
have been gathering for mutual support. Led by Tom E., the men will
become Canada's first A.A. group as they begin to hold meetings in a
room above Toronto's Little Denmark Tavern in 1943."
