Copper Parliament Pin
Ottawa is full of iconic buildings, institutions and places to see. Give a gift that is straight from the parliament buildings, quite literally, with a pin made from the original copper roof that covered the buildings from 1918-1996. The sales from the pins go to support people with development disabilities who are also involved in creating them. Some local souvenir shops may also have them. Starting at $7, available at lop.parl.gc.ca.
