Two Hats United: Dutch-Canadian Bond Honored in Ottawa
Princess Margriet of the Netherlands unveiled the Man With Two Hats monument in Apeldoorn, with a twin sculpture placed in Ottawa, honoring the Dutch-Canadian bond forged during World War II. Canadian troops liberated the Netherlands in 1945, and the grateful Dutch sent thousands of tulip bulbs to Ottawa each spring—a tradition that now draws over a million visitors annually.
