Excerpt from November 16, 2015, reference letter from Kathie Adare,
Manager-National Celebrations, External Relations and Visitor Experience Directorate, Parks Canada:<\/p>

\u201cAt the request of Parks Canada, Odyssey Showcase created and presented a very special and successful tribute on the occasion of Sir John A. Macdonald\u2019s bicentennial birthday in Memorial Hall in Kingston in January 2015.<\/p>

This presentation included actors portraying Sir John A. Macdonald, Sir Georges Etienne Cartier, Lord Stanley, Sir John Franklin, Queen Victoria, Fenian soldiers and First World War soldiers and others.<\/p>

Parks Canada funded the entire production and we were delighted with the results.<\/p>

The production was bilingual, educational, original, entertaining and perfect for the target audience of new Canadians and their families and Canadian dignitaries.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Their research, wardrobes, regalia, impersonations, scripts, music, lyrics, dances and overall harmonious integration of important elements of Canadian history into theatrical representations is remarkable.<\/br><\/br>\n\nMy colleagues and I are grateful for the opportunity to experience their presentations and for the excellent work they performed for Parks Canada and accordingly commend this organization as a worthy participant in the upcoming 2017 celebrations with experience in portraying Canadian history.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
