Odyssey Showcase 25th Anniversary: In October 2024, Mayor Mark Sutcliffe on behalf of the City of Ottawa, presented Odyssey Showcase with an award in celebration of Odyssey Showcases 25^th anniversary, recognizing its work creating, producing and presenting educational, multicultural, live and theatrical performances.

“Since 2000, Odyssey Showcase has played an important role educating and entertaining student and broader audiences with bilingual, inclusive and barrier-free productions showcasing a diversity of artists and telling Canada’s social, political and cultural history through a wide host of artistic mediums.

Odyssey Showcase has also demonstrated innovation with the creation of online learning modules that illustrate diverse Canadian experiences.  The launch of Justice on Tap/Justice de cabaret, a six-part anti-racism educational web series, and part of a larger project, Canada Speaks in Diverse Ways/Les voix du patrimoine.Aki animitagozig, will serve as a compelling feature for Canada History Week in November.”
