In anticipation of Canada’s sesquicentennial celebrations, the Citizen’s Bruce Deachman has been out in search of Ottawans — 150 of them — to learn their stories of life and death, hope and love, the extraordinary and the everyday. We’ll share one person’s story every day until Canada Day.

“I’m just happy to wake up and see another day. I’m just living, man. I’m not working right now. I used to work at the racetrack — Woodbine, in Toronto. I used to be a horse-walker. I walked the horses. I like them; they’re nice animals.

“I came to Ottawa just to see. I’ve been to other places — Barrie, Edmonton, B.C., Halifax. I have to move around. I went to the States. Ottawa’s alright, as long as I mind my own business. My favourite city? Canada.”

— Demar Duwani. Dundonald Park, Oct. 5, 2016.
