After several years of working on Exploring the Capital, outside of work, we have published the book in both official languages through Figure1 Publishing and University of Ottawa Press (French edition).
The final design and layout is impressive, featuring 11 tours of the Ottawa-Gatineau Region. Peter Coffman’s photos are dramatic and draw your eyes. There was some media attention on Radio-Canada and CBC Radio. Written media included a feature article on Artsfile – a local online news stream which is part of ipolitics.
160 people came to the launch at Library and Archives Canada. The event was appropriately held in the Pellan Room on the second floor. I was glad to see many familiar faces and I was able to sign many copies.
Some photos of the event taken by the photographer at the University of Ottawa.
Exploring the Capital is available through Chapters, Amazon, Costco and many local bookstores.
