Canada's Capital Miata Meet, 7th - 9th August, 2015
Background
In August 1995, a group of Miata aficionados gathered in a basement rec room to plot the formation of a Miata Club for Ottawa and Gatineau. They did not want to fall under the umbrella of other organizations in Ontario, Canada or North America. It was decided to fly under the radar, make their own rules, and do their own thing.
Thus the Underground Miata Network was born.
August 2015 will mark the 20th anniversary of UMN and we will be hosting a major touring event in our home town. This would be especially interesting for visitors to Ottawa as we straddle the border between Ontario and Quebec and have inherited both English and French cultures.
The Canada's Capital Miata Meet 2015 will show case the beautiful scenery and interesting roads of Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec. Participants will also be exposed to the rich history, warm hospitality, and delectable cuisine of our bilingual culture.
You are cordially invited to join us in Canada's Capital city to celebrate UMN's 20th Anniversary. What better way to rejoice the sense of freedom and the spirit of adventure that are the foundations of both the Miata and UMN.
À nos amis du Québec avec lesquels nous avons maintes fois fraternisé. La célébration de notre 20e anniversaire nous permettra de vous remercier de votre généreuse hospitalité au cours des ans. Au plaisir de vous accueillir à Ottawa en août 2015!
Program at a Glance:
Welcome to Ottawa, Canada's Capital
The area surrounding Canada's capital, known as the National Capital Region (NCR), encompasses 4,662 square kilometres (1,800 square miles) of an enchanting mix of urban and rural landscape. For the full urban experience, visit Ottawa for its array of restaurants & bars, markets and shops. While the NCR is well known for its pre-eminent cultural attractions, such as the National Gallery of Canada, Museum of Civilization, and the Museum of Nature, the region itself is home to over 80 museums and galleries.
The area is served by three rivers (the Ottawa, Rideau and Gatineau), feeding hundreds of lakes, surrounded by acres of nature. Hiking, fishing, golfing and skiing are mere minutes from any of the ten towns in the region. The communities on Ottawa's perimeter, such as Gloucester, Nepean and Kanata, provide accommodation options in quiet settings just minutes away from the attractions only the big city can provide.
