[Ottawa_users] Information: Using Carleton's Facilites for Fall Events

[Fabien Ancelin]

Understood Scott.

I hope that life still gives you some time to enjoy and relax. It is much
appreciated that you emailed back and that you are also working on planning
this event. Let us know if you need information from us.

Do you have any idea when you would meet the people at Carleton University
in order to plan the event?

I hope summer will be a little bit smoother for you.

Take care,
