I'm sure we could have gotten some funding for the 200th is we asked. We just have a Mayor who doesn't really care. I'm sure Watson would have done something... something. His whole Byward plan was supposed to be done by 2026, but then Sutcliffe did absolutely nothing with it.

Totally agree! And sorry if my comment came off negatively. I would also like some big, free, events to celebrate.

No worries. It's true that most people outside Ottawa don't care, or more likely, aren't even aware of the Bytown 200, but with good leadership and events team (like Watson and Laflamme in 2017) we could have planned something great and made sure a lot more people were aware.
