Celebrate Ottawa’s 200th anniversary through Ottawa 200: Tree of Biodiversity, a unique public art installation featuring hundreds of hand-sculpted clay animals representing species connected to the city’s past and present. Created by Sandy Hill artist Ben Lachapelle (Ben Animalia), the colourful creatures are displayed on a seven-foot tree inspired by the iconic oaks of Strathcona Park.
