Heritage Ottawa in co-operation with the Westboro Community Association invite you to an evening get-together of community associations and others interested in protecting our built-heritage.
This meeting follows our first post-pandemic meeting last May at the Routhier Community Centre in Lowertown.
It’s time to reconnect again, renew alliances, and share experiences both good and bad with our efforts to protect and enhance the built-heritage in our neighbourhoods.
We encourage those on this mailing list to share the invitation with others in their community who have an interest in heritage – strength in numbers!
