| OTTAWA,
June 21, 2000 - An exciting treasure hunt and a jazz concert are
just two of the fun activities waiting for you when you go West On
Wellington (WOW) this Canada Day, July 1st, between 9
am and 5 pm.
Just five
minutes from Parliament Hill, the WOW partners - Supreme Court
of Canada, National Archives of Canada, National Library of Canada,
Bank of Canada Currency Museum and Elections Canada - invite you to
join in the WOW Treasure Hunt, a passport and
prize game for the whole family. With passport in hand, participants
visit each site to find the answer to a simple question about each
institution. They are then eligible to enter a draw for various unique
prizes. Passports and contest boxes will be available at all five
locations. The draw will take place at 4:30 pm in the main lobby of
the National Archives/National Library, 395 Wellington St. in Ottawa.
Music lovers
will not want to miss a free concert by the jazz trio LINGO.
The concert begins at 2 pm in the National Archives/National Library
auditorium. It is presented in cooperation with the embassies of the
Federal Republic of Germany, Switzerland and Argentina.
Both events are
part of a full day of WOW festivities that includes face
painting for children, birthday cake and more. So be sure to make West
on Wellington part of your plans for Canada Day!
