As noted in a message last week from Judith Richards, there will be a joint meeting in Ottawa of the Parkinson Foundation of Canada and the Parkinson's Society of Ottawa-Carleton. I am a member of the Board of Directors of the latter group At the recent meeting of the Ottawa Society the agenda for a workshop on Saturday, October 23rd was discussed which will start at 2:00 p.m. with two speakers- a Lynda McKenzie who will discuss her successful fetal cell transplant: and a researcher from Dalhousie University who will review work in Physiotherapy with Parkinson patients in Halifax. Additional information can be obtained from the Society's Office by tel. (613) 722-9238; FAX (613) 722-3241: E-mail < [log in to unmask] >. As many of you are aware, there are a lot of outstanding tourist sites to visit in our nation's capital such as tours of Parliament Hill, numerous museums and art galleries etc. Other goodies include a new Casino and the home for the best Canadian hockey team - namely the Ottawa Senators. You can obtain more information on theseevents by clicking on two web sites-< www.ottawa.kiosk > and < www.capcan.ca >. By lucky coincidence, the Senators are hosting the Buffalo Sabres on evening of the 23rd. Tickets can be procured by phoning the toll-free number of !-800-444-7367. Hope to see Judith next month, and others who I have only had the privilege to meet over the web. Perhaps the active Janet Paterson who lives on the outskirts of Ottawa might also show up??
