This unique tartan was created to mark the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Canadian War Museum at its location on Ottawa’s LeBreton Flats. Its design incorporates significant events in the Museum’s history.
The colours are inspired by the Museum’s architecture and its setting in the Nation’s Capital. Concrete grey represents the building’s primary material. Shades of green reflect its sustainable nature and its green roof adorned with local vegetation, while copper represents the Museum’s roofing and siding material, as well as its connection to the Parliament buildings. Blue is for the Ottawa River bordering the Museum, brown is for the earth on which it is built, and red symbolizes its connection to Canada.
