Major's Hill Park
Once known as Colonel's Hill after Lieutenant-Colonel John By, builder of the Rideau Canal, the area's name was changed when Major Daniel Bolton took up residence on the hill. Ottawa's first park, Major's Hill remains a picturesque setting for citizens and visiting tourists.

Canadian National War Memorial, Ottawa
The Great Response of Canada
In 1926, British sculpor Vernon March won the competition for Canada's First World War memorial in Ottawa. The sculpture to commemorate "The Response." of Canadians in the First World War, has, over the years, come to symbolize the sacrifice of all Canadians who have served Canada in time of war in the cause of peace and freedom. The dates 1939-1945 and 1950-1953 have been added in bronze numerals on each side of the memorial.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was added to the base of the war memorial in May 2000.
Rising 21 metres from its base, the memorial consists of twenty-two larger-than-life bronze figures, including infantrymen, an airman, sailors, gunners, cavalrymen, a nursing sister and others advancing through an arch of granite bearing the allegorical figures of Peace and Freedom.
The allegorical figures of peace and freedom at the top to the monument are 5.33 metres in height. The figures are one-third greater than life size, each standing about 2.44 metres tall. In the faces of the marching figures there is character and purpose, sincerity and good intent. The figures are not shown in fighting attitudes, but rather express movement and the enthusiasm and eagerness of the people.
King George V1 unveiled the National War Monument in May 1939, just over three months before the outbreak of the Second World War.
