| Summary: | Canadians are rightfully proud of their national capital city, Ottawa, and in this program we discover why. We learn right away what it is to be Canadian in this naturally beautiful city, which lies on the banks of the Ottawa River, a major waterway that forms the boundary between Ontario and Quebec; the Ottawa too contains the mouths of the Rideau River and Rideau Canal; the latter has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The country's fourth largest city, Ottawa has much more to offer its citizens and visitors alike. Love history? Then you'll love visiting the historic Parliament buildings on Parliament Hill; these are among Canada's most recognizable heritage sites; next we indulge in culture and view Canadian artwork at the National Gallery of Canada; then we explore the ByWard Market, the cradle of the city's French population, which once was known as Lowertown, but today is a bustling site with an exciting array of restaurants and boutiques. By tour's end viewers totally understand Capital Pride.
