The sketch captures the essence of Ottawa, the vibrant capital of Canada, with the Rideau Canal and Parliament Buildings as its focal points. Ottawa, situated in southeastern Ontario, is a city rich in history and culture, serving as the nation's capital since 1867. In the background, the Parliament Buildings stand majestically on Parliament Hill. These iconic structures are not only the seat of Canada's government but also a cultural hub, hosting events like the Changing of the Guard and the Sound and Light show. Ottawa's bilingual nature, reflecting Canada's linguistic diversity, adds to its cultural richness.

Whether hung on the wall or placed on a magnetic surface, this magnet makes a beautiful and cherished memento and its a wonderful way to bring the charm of this picturesque setting into any home or office.
