1 & 2 are correct for capitalization. I would surround "held each summer in Canada" with commas.Office is not a proper noun in sentence 3.The first word of a title, even if it is a small word, is capitalized. Spring and tulips are not proper nouns. I would add a comma after D.C., and change the last "in" to "at".

I'm typing on a complementary iPad in a waiting room. So much for spacing & hard returns!
Sorry Ma'am, It was Jeff, sir. Thank you, ma'am.
add commentI agree with my friend Patty -- except for the commas in #2. I think "held each summer in Canada" is defining, not an appositive or parenthetical that can be omitted without loss of meaning. I would not add the commas. Still, if I were the editor here, I would ask the author to clarify her intent. The use of commas, or not, should reflect that intent.

I have changed my mind. The commas might work, but I think Jeff is right.
Thank you, sir. How are you, sir?
