This a press release that was sent along the other day - 

“St Mungo's United Church will hold a Scottish Memorial Day in honour of the 

Scottish pioneers of the North Shore of the Ottawa River, on August 19, 2012. 

The activities will start with a church service at 3:00 p.m. and continue with a 

barbecue afterwards. Taking part in the festivities will be the Black Watch 

Association Pipes & Drums of Montreal under the command of Pipe Major Brian 

MacKenzie, and Gaelic singers, Fiona McDonald, Director of the Gaelic Choir of 

Ottawa and Catherine-Ann MacPhee of Barra who is universally regarded as one of 

the most gifted and engaging Gaelic singers of her generation.

The impressive stone church, built in 1836 by the Scottish stonemasons who 

worked on the Ottawa River canals, has undergone extensive restoration of the 

exterior in recent years. This event will launch St Mungo's fundraising for the 

restoration of the interior. Official tax receipts for all donations over $20.

WHEN: August 19, 3:00 p.m.
