Several times in the “aughts” (2000 – 2009) Pam and I visited Ottawa, the capital of Canada, for work. We’d leave on a weekend to enjoy some personal time before the appointments.
It is sad, I could find no photographs of Ottawa to share with this post. We loved the European feel of the city.
Our exposure to the Canada pavilion was a walk by at sunset on the way to our Japan dinner reservation.

Great fun though rather expensive. Tickets start at $109 per day per person and ours was $133.13 ($266.26 with NO tax thank goodness). Plus we were at the beginning of a pandemic, exposing ourselves w/o protection.

Thanks for the reference, Steve. The resemblance of the Hotel du Canada to the Chateau Laurier is stronger and, in fact, was modeled on the Ottawa hotel. Here is a photograph for comparison.
