OTTAWA ON THE RIVER

The spires of Ottawa's government buildings outlined against the sky open this color film. But Ottawa is a city of people. They have made it into a pleasant city, with streets running out from the central area they call the Plaza. They have built the beautiful driveways and boulevards with parks and they live here, play, go to school, marry and work here. In summer many swim going up the Gatineau. In spring they go on picnics and in fall they walk in a blaze of autumn color. Winter brings snow that brings joy to the hearts of the children. They build themselves skating rinks, toboggan slides, skis. Men with large, heavy sleighs fill the streets and out on the hills the skiers swarm for miles. This film outlines the life of a people against a panorama of dignified government buildings and changing seasons
