What do we envision when we think of Ottawa? What are the icons that define it? Parliament Hill and the Peace Tower. The Chateau Laurier. The National War Memorial. The Rideau Canal in winter and summer. Museums. Gothic architecture. Monuments and statues. People, pomp, parades, and politics. Canada Day, Winterlude, and Tulipfest. That is what you will see as you turn the pages of this beautiful book of iconic photographs.
