Friends of John,

We hope to see many of you at the Celebration of Life for John W. Foster on Sunday 28 June at 2:30 PM EDT at the First Unitarian Congregation, 30 Cleary Avenue, in Ottawa.

We are planning a truly celebratory gathering, with tributes from family, friends and fellow travellers, music and memorabilia. There will be ample opportunity to connect with people from the many different chapters and passions of John’s extraordinary life, who are travelling to Ottawa from across the country and beyond. And there will be an opportunity at the reception that follows to offer your own tribute to John. As well, there will be a few surprises John would have loved.

For those who cannot join us in person, the event will be live-streamed so you can watch from wherever, whenever. [https://youtube.com/live/qc6cPdDBZk8?feature=share]

For those in Ottawa, there is construction near the venue so the best access is from Byron or Richmond. Parking is available on the grounds. Just keep driving left past the lots for the residents of Unitarian House, to park closer to the church. There’s an elevator to the left of the entrance for easy access.

Please share this invitation with others who might wish to join us, in person or online. We very much look forward to seeing many of you in two weeks time in Ottawa.

Solace and solidarity,

Kevin, Johannah and family
