An invitation from Jacqueline Milner,

I will be participating in The Annual Canvas in Colours Art Show & Sale this Sunday, September 27th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Richelieu Park, 300 des Pères-Blancs Ave., Ottawa. Come and experience nature's reflection in the enchanted heritage forest of Richelieu Park and discover some of the Regions talented artists. I couldn't ask for a better venue than a 'heritage forest'. Do drop by to say hello. The show will be outdoors if sunny and in the visitor centre if raining. For more information call 613-580-2424 ext. 28464
