"The Canadian Tulip Festival has been celebrating the tulip, an international symbol of friendship and peace, since 1953. The first Canadian Tulip Festival was led by the Ottawa Board of Trade (now the Ottawa Chamber of Commerce), at the suggestion of world renowned photographer Malak Karsh. His iconic photographs have forever immortalized the tulip, proclaimed as the City of Ottawa’s Official Flower in 2002, and now recognized world-wide as a symbol of friendship and peace." https://tulipfestival.ca/about/#History
