Flights. Air Canada has daily flights from LHR to Ottawa looks like if you fly from places like Manchester etc. you have to come through Toronto or Montreal. You might get a better deal to Ottawa via the USA. Also from other cities in UK through London direct Ottawa. Hotels & Transportation It would be appreciated if you intend attending the reunion in Ottawa if possible could you let me know at the latest by the end of December prior to our departure for Florida. We can then see what deals we can get on the hotels and transportation to and from Kingston and Niagara Falls. If at a later date you decide you would like to attend then I am sure we can fit you in.
