Thank you His Excellency @AmbStephaneDion for meeting today to discuss the strong relationship between #Ottawa and #Paris that is bolstered by our new direct flight. Ce @AirFranceCA vol permet à nos entreprises, y compris le secteur cinématographique, à nos amis et à nos familles de communiquer plus facilement non seulement avec Paris, la France et l'Europe, mais aussi avec la Francophonie dans le monde entier. Thank you for your support of Ottawa and Canada, abroad.

Stay safe everyone and please follow @capital_exp for updates or visit canada.ca/canadaday.

Julia is the power behind many key initiatives in our destination!

Yes! We will be incredibly proud to welcome the world to Ottawa for this massive event!

Ottawa is celebrating the return of a long-held tradition now called Canada on the March, kicking off on June 28th. Joined by the Canadian Guard’s band, the Ceremonial Guards will march from Cartier Drill Hall to Parliament Hill. We’ve turned a corner Ottawa and I invite residents and visitors alike to #CanadaontheMarch. #MyOttawa Ottawa célèbre le retour d'une tradition de longue date, désormais appelée Le Canada en Marche, qui débutera le 28 juin. Accompagnée de la fanfare de la Garde canadienne, la Garde de cérémonie marchera du Manège militaire Cartier jusqu'à la Colline du Parlement. Nous avons progressé à Ottawa et j'invite les résidents et les visiteurs à participer à #LeCanadaenMarche. #MonOttawa

Au cœur du tourisme, il y a des souvenirs qui durent toute une vie. Lors de la 1ère soirée des prix Brillons d’@TourismeOttawa, nous avons célébré les travailleurs qui concrétisent ces souvenirs. Bravo aux lauréats et à tous pour le travail extraordinaire que vous faites!

Tourism at its heart provides us with memories that last a lifetime. At @Ottawa_Tourism’s 1st annual Shine On Awards, we celebrated the front line workers that make those memories happen. Congratulations to the award recipients & to everyone for the amazing work you do!

Thank you Mayor @_MarkSutcliffe and Minister @R_Boissonnault for joining us at the inaugural #ShineOn Awards last night! #MyOttawa
