The Ottawa Rose Centre
The Ottawa Rose Centre was established in 2009 and has sent a Rose to Ireland each summer since then to represent her community, family and Ottawa at the International Festival in Tralee, Co. Kerry, Ireland. There, Roses from around the world, as far afield as Abu Dhabi and New Zealand, come together to celebrate their Irish heritage and the myriad of accomplishments they can boast as a collection of smart, giving, and caring young women.
