Sir John A Records

An homage in name to Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A Records was an Ottawa-based independent label that played a key role in documenting the city’s emerging music scene. Known for its raw energy, DIY spirit, and regional pride, the label released a string of records that captured the pulse of underground Canadian music—often punk, alternative, or experimental in nature. This room collects and preserves those rare and vital releases from Sir John A Records, offering a glimpse into the capital’s sonic counterculture.
