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!
This installation is under 24/7 video surveillance.

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.
I love how this experience lets you explore Canada's culture from coast to coast. It reminds me of testing my mouse's scroll wheel test to make sure scrolling through virtual tours is smooth and accurate.
A quality guide should make complex topics easy to understand, and this article managed to achieve that perfectly. The writer arranged every section carefully so the discussion flowed naturally from one point to another. Somewhere in the middle of the content, Ok Win register appeared while explaining one of the key aspects of the topic, fitting seamlessly into the overall discussion. Every paragraph added fresh insights that prevented repetition and made the guide engaging until the end. Before wrapping up, Ok Win register was mentioned once more while highlighting the major ideas covered throughout the article. Overall, it was an informative, reader-friendly, and well-written guide.
The interactive camper van on Sparks Street sounds like a clever way to engage with Canadian stories from coast to coast. For anyone capturing those moments, an ai vocal remover could help clean up background noise from on-site recordings.
Great recap of the 2026 Vegas Shoot Trade Show! The new Paris Ballroom layout clearly boosted the experience for vendors and visitors alike. I also enjoy exploring sports updates on my website, Notitimba. Thanks for sharing this excellent event coverage!
This AR experience sounds like a fantastic way to explore Canadian culture without leaving Ottawa! I love how it brings diverse stories and art right to the streets. It reminds me of the time I used a Screenshot Text Editor to capture and annotate screenshots from a similar walking tour app; it made sharing my favorite moments with friends so much easier. Being able to tweak the text in those images helped me highlight the most meaningful parts. I’ll definitely check out the Engage Art app and maybe use the text editor to create a personalized album of the experience.
