Did you know that world-renowned photographer, Malak Karsh, was the one to first suggest creating the Tulip Festival, which has now been running since 1953?
The festival’s main site is just down the street from the Civic Campus, and in this photo, taken by none other than Malak Karsh, you can see Civic nurses strolling past the tulips.
These flowers celebrate the memorable role of the Canadian troops in the liberation of the Netherlands and commemorates the birth of Dutch Princess Margriet in Ottawa during the Second World War. If you missed it, check out Moment #37 which contains a special video message from her Highness!
