"This is not a protest. We're not bringing signs and yelling," said the Ottawa-born comedian. "We're going to hang out and have a sandwich and watch the sunset over the Chateau and the Ottawa River."

Internationally recognized Ottawa comedian Tom Green is inviting residents to join him in appreciating the views from Major's Hill Park.

He's recently added his voice to those displeased with the design of a proposed expansion on the north side of the Chateau Laurier.

Green is inviting Ottawans to join him in having a picnic at Major's Hill on Saturday, July 27 at 6:30 p.m.

He hopes residents will watch the sunset, take in the surrounding views and then express their opinions about the Chateau Laurier on social media using the hashtag, #savethechateaulaurier.

The comedian hasn't sent out any specific invites for the event, but hopes to see local politicians there, as well as representatives from the National Capital Commission, so that those attending can have conversations with them about the design of the hotel's expansion project.

"This is not a protest. We're not bringing signs and yelling," said Green. "We're going to hang out and have a sandwich and watch the sunset over the Chateau and the Ottawa River."

Green added that, since getting into town a couple of weeks ago and diving into this issue, he's met many amazing people who care so much for the city and who are concerned about the Chateau Laurier design changing the face of their city.

"That positive energy I'm feeling from so many people involved in this, I hope will lead to a satisfactory result for all parties involved," he explained. "Somehow we will come up with a way -- with the developer, with city council, with the federal government, with the NCC, with the citizens of Ottawa -- to come up with a new design [for the Chateau Laurier expansion] that is going to be more harmonized with the environment down there and really keep Ottawa beautiful."
