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
