The Canadian Tulip Festival / Festival Canadien des Tulipes in Ottawa the capital city of Canada

 

The Canadian Tulip Festival began after the Second World War, when Princess Juliana of the Netherlands presented Ottawa with 100,000 tulip bulbs as a token of friendship in 1945.

 

Canada had provided asylum for the Dutch royal family during the war and played a strong role in the Netherlands’ liberation. While the royal family sought refuge in Ottawa, Princess Juliana gave birth to Princess Margriet on January 19th 1943 at the Ottawa Civic Hospital. The Canadian government temporarily declared the room “Dutch soil,” to ensure that the Princess would remain in line for the throne.

 

The Netherlands continues to give Ottawa 20,000 tulip bulbs every year.

 

Ottawa’s first Canadian Tulip Festival took place in May 1953 and opened with an inauguration ceremony at Parliament Hill.

 

The Canadian Tulip Festival has grown into the largest annual display of tulips in North America.

 

The Canadian Tulip Festival is also a celebration of the return of spring, with over a million tulips in 50 varieties blooming in public spaces across the National Capital Region.

September 15th 2014

In 1910 gold was discovered at Beaver Lake and hundreds of people rushed to stake claims. By 1913 the peak of the gold rush was on with more than 1000 claims staked in the area.

 

About one-half mile north of this monument and across the river, Beaver City had its beginning in 1914.

 

Mining operations were carried out and Beaver Lake became well known for its fishing industry.

 

A freighting outfit began business and barns and boarding houses were built to look after the many travelers. With the gold rush, the mining industry and the fishing industry, it seemed that Beaver City was to become a boom town and grow.

 

However, when WWI broke out many left for home or moved to Sturgeon Landing where the Mandy Mine hauled its ore. Beaver city began to deteriorate and by 1918 it was practically a ghost town!
