The Westin Ottawa Hotel, Confederation and
Governor General Ballrooms

The Banquet is included in the registration fees for regular participants ONLY. Additional ticket: $80.00 CAD for students and accompanying person.

Entertainment will be provided by La Famille Painchaud. This group of three brothers and one sister from the province of Quebec is classically trained, and each has performed as soloist with the Quebec Symphonic Orchestra. However, they are also skilled in a wide variety of contemporary and traditional instruments (including wooden spoons!) and will demonstrate their versatility with selections from their extensive repertoire, covering both new and old tunes played on traditional and folkloric instruments. You will be captivated by the refreshing originality, talent and truly captivating humour of this exceptional group of musicians.

This evening will create a lighthearted mood and give a welcome break from a busy week. It will be an excellent occasion to discuss the highlights of the meeting, make new friends, relax and enjoy the Ottawa hospitality in a joyful and exciting atmosphere. The evening promises to be a feast for the senses. An opportunity not to be missed!
