Iconic dutch tulips bloom on both sides of the oceanGorgeous tulips like these are a part of our proud Canadian history.  The Dutch sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in the fall of 1945, in appreciation of Canada's role in liberating Holland and protecting the royal family in the Second World War.  Those Dutch tulips, and the thousands of  bulbs sent every year from the Dutch Royal Family and the people of the Netherlands, are the over one million beautiful blossoms lining the Tulip Route during the Canadian Tulip Festival in Ottawa-Gatineau, on this year from May 8 to 18. 
  • This year's Canadian Tulip Festival marks a special 70th anniversary commemoration of the Liberation and the Tulip Legacy, 1945 - 2015. 
  • Be sure to add Holland's amazing aromatic tulip fields and Keukenhof  Garden to your travel bucket-list!
