Ottawa's tulip festival, through the archives

The Canadian Tulip Festival has been celebrating the tulip, an international symbol of friendship and peace, since 1953 at the suggestion of world renowned photographer Malak Karsh. This year the festival celebrates its 70th anniversary with a special visit from Her Royal Highness Princess Margreit who was born at the Ottawa Hospital Civic campus in 1943 when her mother Princess Juliana and Margreit's sisters were staying in Ottawa during the war years.
