Unveiling the new tabard of the Chief Herald of Canada

I have a second story up on OpenFile today, which connects to my first one, and it was a bit of a treat in that I got to get a preview of a one-day-only event, which was happening at the opening of the 90 Wellington exhibition, but I also got to have a great discussion with the Chief Herald about this new tabard that has been created for Canada. It was definitely a fun piece to write, and I had a great time discussing heraldry with the Chief Herald, and some of the work that she and her office have done.

What the former Capital InfoCentre looks like on the inside

I have a new story up on OpenFile Ottawa today, which follows up on my story from last week, and shows the new Canadian Honours exhibition that now inhabits the space. As someone who has recently become interested in the Canadian Honours System - and who is a fan of the office of the Governor General - this was a really fun story to be able to cover. I updated the text over the course of the day with a couple of interviews of attendees at the opening event today, and I posted the full interviews on my Routine Proceedings blog here and here.

90 Wellington exhibit to showcase great Canadians

I have a story up on OpenFile Ottawa today which looks at who is moving into the former Capital InfoCentre space on Wellington street. This particular piece is a bit of a teaser, with more to come next week on just what's going to be part of the exhibition.
