The many-faceted life of this capital city, once primarily a lumber town, is portrayed through sequences of the Ottawa River and the many activities associated with it. Across the river lies the city of Hull, linked to the capital by many bridges and a mutual interest in the lumber industry. Logs are seen floating down-river from the northern forests; children are shown skating and swimming; tourists visit the Parliament Buildings; and vendors line the street at the Byward market; a horse-drawn cart is seen driving through the streets in a snowfall; and skiers enjoy the snow-laden slopes of the Gatineau Hill. <17mn>Language:EnglishOriginal number:106C 0141 041Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
