With festivities and events marking Canada’s 150th birthday continuing throughout the fall, several Ottawa-based organizations have published a new book that highlights the best of the nation and its capital.
O Canada! A Celebration of 150 Years was officially launched at Ottawa City Hall late last week with the help of Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson, Ottawa Centre MPP Yasir Naqvi and Guy Laflamme, the executive director of the Ottawa 2017 Bureau.
“This book not only showcases the expansive beauty of Canada but shines a spotlight on the nation’s capital and all of the exciting events that made this year’s celebrations so memorable,” Mr. Watson said in a statement.
