For People Who Want to Do More Than Visit Parliament
Adventures that I would never have known to undertake, had it not been for this book. "Secret Ottawa" has provided me with tons of mini-adventures in this city of mine. I have visited the Mer Bleue Conservation Area bog (see "Bog", p. 32) and marvelled at the unique landscape. I've been to the Diefenbunker (see "Bunker", p. 37) and walked down a blast tunnel meant to protect key civil servants from nuclear attack. I've toured Laurier House (see "Mackenzie King", p. 108) and learned that two Prime Minister's have the same bathroom tiles as I do.

There is so much more that I have personally done and still have left to do! I have no excuses to be bored. This book has 207 pages of excursions and ideas of things for me to do. This book is a gem.

A Secret Too Good to Keep

From bookstores, to candle stores, to statues with mistakes, to swans in the river, and cats on Parliament Hill, this book is a gem for those wanting to explore some of the real side of Ottawa, not just the stuff on postcards. This wonderful little book (perfectly sized for a pocket) about Ottawa, "Secret Ottawa," does what most travel books fail to do: it tells you about the out-of-the-way, low fanfare places that are probably better than the tourist traps to begin with. This book tells nearly everything that makes Ottawa beautiful, instead of just another city.
