Episode Details

Ottawa just turned 200, and the city’s got a brand new anthem to celebrate — “Heart of This Place,” sung in English, French, Anishinaabemowin, and Inuktitut. Born from the Ottawa Music Industry Coalition’s mission to honor the city’s multicultural soul, this track was crafted by artists from diverse backgrounds who quickly found harmony in their shared vision. The chorus emerged in just one day, capturing what it means to call Ottawa home. An Algonquin Elder blessed the debut performance in Chinatown, grounding the celebration in respect for Indigenous roots. Now streaming with a music video, the anthem will be performed live again at free shows and the Capital Music Awards — a vibrant tribute to two centuries of culture, resilience, and unity.
