Echoes of Heritage: A Somerset Odyssey
Beneath Ottawa’s official façade, legends linger in quiet corners—hidden among parade grounds, defiant statues, and the sharp winter air by the canal. This self-guided audio tour winds through Centretown, revealing the overlooked drama, scandal, and resilience etched into its very streets. Which long-buried secret at Cartier Square Drill Hall once sent military authorities scrambling? Why does Confederation Park echo with both music and protest—sometimes on the very same day? What surprising battle of identity and language still reverberates from Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami’s front doors? Stride from fortress-like halls to lively green spaces, through rallies, rebellions, scandals, and moments when courage was demanded. Every step peels back a new layer—a city alive with conflict, celebration, struggle, and hope. Ready to look past Ottawa’s surface and discover the hidden currents that shaped its heart? Start your journey now where legends stand guard.
