Ottawa a capital hit with agents
SPOTLIGHT ON...
OTTAWA Tourism hosted its
fi rst Ottawa-dedicated fam trip out of the UK this January. The agents spent fi ve days in Canada's capital city, enjoying attractions such as the National Gallery, Canadian War Museum and the Vanier Museopark and Sugar Shack. They also enjoyed a haunted walk of Ottawa’s darker past and a Ottawa Senators hockey game. Fam attendee Peter Watson of Jetset Holidays said: "Who knew Otatwa had so many diverse attractions? The museums are splendid and engaging and the Winterlude Festival is an extravaganza, with ice skating on the frozen Rideau Canal and spectacular ice carving!"
