Managing Editor for Anglo-Celtic Roots


The President has announced that Paul Cripwell has come forward to volunteer as the Anglo-Celtic Roots managing editor. He takes over from Barbara Tose, who will leave the position after the Winter issue in December. We are very grateful to Barbara for her years working on the ACR and to Paul for stepping in to lead the dedicated team of editors and proofreaders. He will also look after layout, so we are doubly blessed!  



It's our 30th anniversary year! Look forward to seeing you for special activities throughout the year!

Our September to December (inclusive) monthly meetings are hybrid! We’ll be meeting in-person at Knox Presbyterian Church and online (see the  Events  page for the Zoom link.) Knox Church is at 120 Lisgar Street, at the corner of Lisgar and Elgin. Enter by the garden entrance on Elgin. Limited free street parking is available and the City Hall Parking Garage is conveniently located directly across the street from Knox. Within walking distance are two LRT stations - University of Ottawa (take the footbridge at Somerset) and Parliament.
