The Simcoe Act is a piece of legislation in Canada that was enacted to honor the contributions of John Graves Simcoe, the first Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. This act aims to recognize Simcoe's role in establishing the province's legal and political framework, as well as his efforts in promoting education and infrastructure. The act also emphasizes the importance of preserving the historical sites and heritage associated with Simcoe's legacy. By doing so, it seeks to educate the public about the early development of Ontario and the significant impact of Simcoe's policies on the region's growth and governance.
