Susan and I took Gillian to Ottawa on Friday for the uOttawa Day. It was an opportunity to hear about their Science programs, tour the residences and campus. We drove up Thursday night and came back Saturday morning. We enjoyed an extra day of sun and 22°C that went through Mississauga on Thursday.

The University of Ottawa campus is right downtown, next to the Rideau Canal and only a few minutes walk from Parliament Hill.

After a busy day on campus, we headed over to Parliment Hill for a walk.

Chateau Frontenac.

Angela and Claudia stayed home and Grandma Swan came down for a couple of nights.
