To truly understand the depth and breadth of Canadian culture, you have no choice but to travel from coast to coast.
Unless... You take part in One Canada experiences in downtown Ottawa.
Get a taste for everything near and far. Hear what it means to be Canadian from the diverse groups that inhabit our beautiful country. See art and play games that will make you laugh or leave you with something to ponder.
Canada is more than just maple syrup and beaver tails. The One Canada experiences will give you a taste of indigenous culture, black history, and pride in Canada.
Download the Engage Art app and be on your way to understanding everything Canada has to offer all while walking the streets of downtown Ottawa.
The Augmented Reality Experience can be found on Sparks Street between Metcalfe and O'Connor streets beginning August 25, 2022. The exhibit will run until the end of October, 2022.
Play the game!
Compete with your friends!
This interactive camper van is full of fun ways to explore:
Scan the QR code above to fly sky high in a hot air balloon! Compete with your friends to see who can collect the most coffee and donuts.
Push all the buttons around the window and see the train go around the tracks or a fleet of snowbirds soar through across the screens. Can you figure out what every button does?
This art piece is created by Kristyn Watterworth and Edward Platero. It represents bringing all of Canada into one city. Each part of the model inside showcases a different part of Canada’s diverse culture. Check out a little piece of every province inside!

AR trailer arrival and set up on Sparks Street, Aug. 23, 2022
This exhibit is brought to you by the combined efforts and collaboration of Sparks Street BIA, EXAR Studios, and Engage Ottawa.
The 'One Canada' AR experience on Sparks sounds incredibly innovative, making history and culture feel truly interactive and present. It's exciting to imagine those virtual elements feeling so real, almost like a Cartoonperson stepping right out of the screen and into your environment.
This Canada travel story is such a fun read — it really captures the excitement and variety of experiences you can have on the road! Planning ahead always makes trips more enjoyable, especially when it comes to logistics like getting around comfortably. For travel in the UK, having reliable options like Beaconsfield taxi services can make local journeys smooth and stress‑free.
This looks like such a creative and engaging experience! The idea of using augmented reality to explore culture and stories while walking through the city is really impressive and makes the visit much more interactive. Experiences like this are a great way to connect people with art and history in a fun way. When planning trips to events or exhibitions, reliable travel options like Amersham taxis can make getting there much easier and more convenient. Thanks for sharing this unique initiative!
Sounds like a cool way to spend an afternoon! I always love finding hidden gems like this in cities. It's true, travel is amazing, but not always feasible. This AR experience reminds me a little of the feeling you get in agario sometimes – that sudden burst of learning (or sometimes, getting eaten by someone bigger!). I might check this out; I'm always up for a quick "cultural snack," just like I sometimes need a few minutes of agario to de-stress!
Well-written article! I like how you highlighted the importance of usability and clear structure in modern websites. These are things users often overlook but truly matter in daily use. I’ve noticed similar design principles applied on platforms like juan365 promo code. Thanks for sharing this informative post.
