In this Part 1 of a mini-series of interviews, Guy Laflamme, Executive Director, Ottawa 2017, speaks of the inception of Canada’s 150th birthday celebration in Ottawa.

Laflamme branded the events which start on the new year’s eve, Ottawa 2017. The numerous events, some lasting, some brief, run the course of the whole year. Suffice it to state, Ottawa will never be the same. “Immersive” and “experiential” are key words in their execution.

Stay-tuned for the pieces of a large puzzle in future episodes.
