/PanARMENIAN.Net/ September 17 the City Council of Ottawa unanimously
voted for inclusion of the RA Embassy building in Ottawa in the
Heritage List of Canada’s capital. The building will henceforth
be mentioned in the guides. Moreover, the Armenian Embassy will be
granted the possibility to have open houses for tourists, what will
raise the interest towards the republic.

The building was constructed 100 years ago in the style of Italian
renaissance, which is a rarity in Canada. The front of the building
was projected by Canadian architect Werner Nofke.
