It was time to say goodbye to Toronto and make the 5-6 hour journey to Ottawa, Canada’s capital City by luxury air conditioned coach. Once all had settled into their rooms in the Quality Hotel, the
remainder of the day was left free for sightseeing or relaxing. |

the bustling Byward Market which was within walking distance from
their hotel. Alternatively a boat trip along the famous Rideau Canal

FRIDAY 9TH APRIL 2004 The group again enjoyed a free day until early evening when they were transferred to the City View United Church for their third performance. As this was another joint performance time was required to rehearse and prepare for the joint numbers with the Ottawa Welsh Choral Society. Thanks must be passed to the host choir for their assistance in
staging the event and also to the audience for the manner in which
the concert was accepted. The concert was an ideal way to round
off their stay in Ottawa.
