1/The story behind our logo – In 1945, the Dutch royal family sent 100,000 tulip bulbs to Ottawa in gratitude for Canadians having sheltered the future Queen Juliana and family for the preceding three years during the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands in the Second World War.

[Friends of Figma, Ottawa @FoF_Ottawa]

2 / Ottawa now holds the world's largest tulip festival annually because of this honor and the tulip was later declared the official flower of Ottawa.

1/ Last night I had the opportunity to host a collaborative activity during the @figmaott remote event using @figmadesign 🙌🏻
