Centennial Flame in Ottawa, Canada

04. Jan. 09 Centennial Flame This is a fountain with a symbolic flame in the center. On 1, 1967, then Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson first lit the flame to mark the Centennial celebrations, which was the 100th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation. The fountain is located between the gates to Parliament Hill and the doors of the Center Block, and each province is represented in the fountain by the coat of arms shield that can be seen, which the water runs underneath. Above all, it is a monument to Canadian unity and the combination of fire and water is meant to symbolize the togetherness of English and French Canada. January
