This exhibit is NOT on the bus tour although those on the bus tour will drive past the National Gallery itself. For those not going on the bus tour, there are many options, nine of which are outlined below. Muriel has been a busy bee garnering all necessary information for you to get to and enjoy any of those nine sites and sign-up sheets will be available at registration if you wish to have company going to a particular destination. The sites that she has researched include:
The National Gallery (special exhibit: Van Gogh)
The Museum of Civilization (special exhibit: God(s): A User's Guide)
The Canadian War Museum
Parliament Hill (security is quite heavy here -- takes a while to get in)
Rideau Hall (home of the Governor General - don't miss the self-guided tour of the grounds)
Rideau Canal Boat Tour
Bytown Museum & the Ottawa River walkway (be prepared for a fairly steep walk)
Rideau River canal walk
Shopping at the Byward Market & Rideau Center.

| The Ballroom in Rideau Hall |
Do consider ahead of time which of these (or some other spot!) you might wish to visit and scout it out ahead of time online. The sign-up sheets will be at registration and then will move to the 4th floor lounge until Saturday morning when Muriel will pick them up. Further instructions as to how to meet up with your group will be announced during the business meeting.
I hope you enjoy touring in our national capital!
No matter how many times I look at it, it still make me feel goosebumps all over. What a piece of art work.
