Richmond was founded in 1818 and is the oldest community within the current City of Ottawa.
To celebrate Richmond's 200th birthday in 2018, we have created the Richmond Passport Tour!
The Richmond 200 Passport Tour gives you the opportunity to explore Richmond by finding the 10 caches hidden around our village. Use a Passport (printable here) to make rubbings of each of the 10 special symbols found in the containers. Collect all 10 rubbings and submit your completed Passport to earn one free Richmond 200 Commemorative Coin!
Check out the incredible mural on the side of the nearby building! On their website, it says the following about the mural's artist:
“Richmond Legion member Becky Marr-Johnson, who designed and painted four of the six heritage murals on the side of the Richmond Arena, also designed and painted the murals on the Legion hall. The murals depict the history and legacy not just of the legion but also of Richmond and Canada.
Hundred of hours go into the planning and execution of these murals. Becky also recreated the Vimy Ridge monument on canvas and it now hangs on the back wall of the hall.”
