This year’s Canadian Tulip Festival started May 10 and ran until May 20, with most of the action in Commissioners Park amid hundreds of thousands of tulips planted and tended to by the National Capital Commission.
The colourful beds commemorate the first gift of tulips bestowed by the Netherlands in 1945 as a symbol of gratitude for Canada’s support during the Second World War, and the festival has always paid tribute to this military history.
