Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson says that when he's explaining tourism to local school kids, he asks how many of them saw La Machine in 2017 and hands instantly shoot into the air.
Nearly two years later, he's still in awe of how many residents saw the Canada 150 event, featuring mechanical dragon Long Ma and spider Kumo, and the positive impact it had on them.
"It was so engaging and so different," said the mayor on 1310 NEWS' The Rick Gibbons Show, Friday.
Watson had lunch with a group from France's La Machine on Friday, to discuss putting on another show in the capital, possibly in 2022.
"[They] very much want to come back, so we'll look into getting sponsors, just because it's expensive -- you've got to ship these things over in 20 massive sea containers or something," explained the Mayor. Source
