Itinerary
Stop 1
Stand beneath 'Maman', the towering spider sculpture at the National Gallery of Canada. Discover how this striking work celebrates motherhood, weaving, and protection through art.
Stop 2
Embark on a creature photo hunt in the ByWard Market's Heritage Hall! Find and snap pictures of iconic Canadian animals—moose, beaver, bear, loon, and wolf—before time runs out.
Stop 3
Experience the sweet story of Canada's iconic maple syrup at Sirop D'érable. Learn why the maple leaf is a national symbol and uncover the delicious tradition behind 'liquid gold.'
Stop 4
Uncover the beaver's tale at 69 George St! Discover how this national symbol recovered from near extinction and why its legacy is woven into Canada's history and fur trade.
Stop 5
Step inside the Fairmont Château Laurier and explore an art gallery dedicated to the Arctic. Encounter sculptures and paintings that bring Canada's northern wildlife and Inuit art to life.
Stop 6
Visit Parliament Hill's East Block, where Canada's government works hard—just like the beaver! Discover parallels between these tireless builders and the country's lawmakers.
Stop 7
At the Flags of Canada, examine bronze coats of arms and spot which provinces or territories feature animals or plants from your journey. Test your memory and attention to detail!
Stop 8
See the Rideau Canal, the world's largest skating rink in winter! Learn about its historic 202 km waterway and how it transforms into an icy playground at the heart of Ottawa each year.
