| Ottawa's Sector 9 hosted a stupendous picnic on Sunday, August 8th, welcoming easily 50 to 60 people from across the city to beautiful Riverain Park (aka "River Road Park" for some people). The food was plentiful and diverse, from Persian rice to... Mmmmm... BARBECUE!!!! Activities were equally diverse; those present were treated to games of tug-of-war, volleyball, basketball, soccer, badminton, and even fishing! In the end, an excellent time was had by all. We'll see you all next year! |
