RCNA Ottawa Convention July 19 - July 24, 2016

Had a wonderful time in our nation's Capital. Indeed a very busy week with meetings, tours, auctions and of course friendly conversations.

It was nice meeting you Discovery and thank you for taking the time to introduce yourself.

One interesting item I found (are we doing a show and tell here?) in my travels was located at the gift shop in the War Museum. I am certain that the obverse features our 12th Governor General Lord Byng though the accompanying documentation makes no mention other than the number of those who died during the battle.

Quite impressive at 44mm and 47.6 grams, so much so that I was compelled to make a second trip in the scorching heat to purchase two more! Fortunately it was only a 10 minute walk from the hotel and on my way back I stumbled upon the Fireman memorial unveiled in 2012.

Congratulation to the host committee for a job well done. I was at the RCNA for most of Friday and Saturday. Attended a few meetings, met great people and was able to purchase a lot of items to fill my collection. Once again, thank you to all the volunteers for a job well done.
Looking forward to attend the event in Bucherville next year.
