Let me introduce myself. My name is Elena Kaliberda and I am an Editor of this special edition of the ESLA newsletter. I am also the ESLA 1900 course student at the Carleton University. Students like me are the prime readers of this newsletter. One of the key objectives of the ESLA program is to improve the academic knowledge of the English language and get some practical communication skills. Surely, there are many opportunities available at the Carleton University to get involved and practise your communication skills, for example “English as a second language” conversation groups, workshops, seminars, and many others. There are always many various events happening at Carleton, including international conferences, seminars, theatre performances and much more. But it is also important to take advantage of many other opportunities that are available outside the University walls. It is important for so many different reasons. The key here is to receive a real life experience and an opportunity to integrate into every day’s life and learn to communicate in English with ease.

World Tulip Summit 2017 Westin Hotel Ottawa
WORLD TULIP SUMMIT 2017 WESTIN HOTEL OTTAWA CANADA OCTOBER 5‐7 2017 Report for Springfields Horticultural Society Trustees Adrian Jansen INTRODUCTION The 7th World Tulip Summit was held in Ottawa, Canada in October 2017, hosted by the Ottawa Tulip Festival. In addition to celebrating 15 years since the first WTS in Ottawa in 2002, it was also the 65th anniversary of the Ottawa Tulip festival, and 150 years since the founding of the Dominion of Canada. There has been some confusion as to the year of the first Summit. Although we refer to the first as being in 2002 in Ottawa, there was an ‘unofficial’ summit the previous year in Tonami, Japan. It was there that it was decided to invite a number of countries to participate the following year in Ottawa. This Tonami meeting is now known as ‘The Inspirational Summit’. The second Summit was in Canberra, Australia 2006, 3rd in Spalding 2008, 4th Skagit Valley, USA in 2010, 5th in Istanbul, Turkey in 2013, and the 6th in Suncheon City, South Korea, 2015 Initially, having received the invitation to attend, David, Peter and myself agreed we would not send a delegate as SHS couldn’t justify the cost of airfare, hotel and registration fees. Having explained this to Michel Gauthier, the Chairman of the WTS, he understood our situation, but he was very keen to have us attend. In order to help, the delegate fees could be waived, and the organisers would pay one return airfare, if we covered hotel costs. After consultation with Trustees, we decided I would attend alone.

YOUR Canadian Tulip Festival Exposing Brands to Over Half a Million People Customized Marketing Through Sponsorship Support of an Iconic Canadian Festival
YOUR Canadian Tulip Festival Exposing brands to over half a million people Customized Marketing through Sponsorship Support of an Iconic Canadian Festival MAY 10 – 20 MAI 2019 Truly a part of our national identity, the Canadian Tulip Festival consistently ranks as one of the top 5 identifiers in the minds of Canadians nationwide when they think of Canada’s Capital City...even ahead of our beloved Senator’s hockey team1. If popularity is measured by attendance, the Canadian Tulip Festival ranks first, along with Winterlude, as the most attended Festival in the City of Ottawa2. With an annual regional economic impact of over $140 million per year3, for 66 years, the Tulip Festival has been a celebration of winter’s end. Its floral beauty, its positioning as the first outdoor festival of the warm weather season together with the Festival’s historical roots, would seem to explain the event’s large attendance and strong goodwill among Canadians. Drawing over 600,000 National and International visitors, the Canadian Tulip Festival has served as both a celebration and a remembrance of the Dutch gift of Tulips to Canada’s Capital. Our hope is that you will join our efforts to maintain and grow the Canadian Tulip Festival legacy. Sincerely, Grant Hooker President Canadian Tulip Festival 1 IPSOS Poll Chart, 2010 (see page 3), 2018 2 OBJ Book of Lists, 2018 (see page 4) 3 Source: TREIM Tourism Calculator Canadian Tulip Festival Sponsorship Opportunities | 2 Summary of Support IPSOS Poll Chart, 2010 Canadian Tulip Festival Sponsorship Opportunities | 3 OBJ Book of Lists, 2018 Canadian Tulip Festival Sponsorship Opportunities | 4 Canadian Tulip Festival Sponsorship Opportunities | 5 Canadian Tulip Festival Sponsorship Opportunities | 6 Our History During WWII, Canadian soldiers bravely battled the maternity ward in the Ottawa Civic Hospital in Europe, culminating in their becoming the to be extraterritorial.

The Plan for Canada's Capital
Judicial i This page is intentionally left blank for printing purposes. ii The Plan for Canada’s Capital 2017 to 2067 NATIONAL CAPITAL COMMISSION June 2016 iii The Capital of an extensive country, rapidly growing in population and wealth, possessed of almost unlimited water power for manufacturing purposes, and with a location admirably adapted not only for the building of a great city, but a city of unusual beauty and attractiveness. (…) Not only is Ottawa sure to become the centre of a large and populous district, but the fact that it is the Capital of an immense country whose future greatness is only beginning to unfold, (…) and that it be a city which will reflect the character of the nation, and the dignity, stability, and good taste of its citizens. Frederick Todd, 1903 “Preliminary Report to the Ottawa Improvement Commission” pp.1-2 iv EXECUTIVE SUMMARY For more than a century, the National Capital Commission (NCC) and its predecessors have embraced urban planning to promote the development, conservation and improvement of the National Capital Region, with the aim of ensuring that the nature and character of the seat of the Government of Canada is in accordance with its national significance. The consequences of these planning efforts have been the creation of parks and open spaces, public shorelines, campuses and clusters of government institutions, monuments and symbolic boulevards. This plan charts the future of federal lands in the National Capital Region between Canada’s sesquicentennial in 2017 and its bicentennial in 2067. It will shape the use of federal lands, buildings, parks, infrastructure and symbolic spaces to fulfill the vision of Canada’s Capital as a symbol of our country’s history, diversity and democratic values, in a dynamic and sustainable manner.
