Mark Sunday June 12, 4pm on your calendars for the second edition of the Lansdowne Follies. After the sold-out triumph in February, we have lined up another excellent cast, headed by Juno winner Kellylee Evans, guitar virtuoso Terry Tufts, and social rights activist Maude Barlow. Tickets are now available at Compact Music, the Ottawa Folklore Centre, and the Mayfair Theatre. Buy early to avoid disappointment; this fun and informative show sold out last time.

Join Michael von Hausen, President of MVH Urban Planning & Design Inc., a Vancouver based international consulting practice, and Adjunct Professor in the Graduate Urban Studies Program at Simon Fraser University, for an exploration of “Vancouverism”.

For the fifth year in a row, the City of Vancouver was selected by The Economist magazine as the most livable city in the world out of 140 cities surveyed. A major contributing factor to this continuing recognition is its planning, design, and governance framework. Through various plans and case studies, Michael will highlight Vancouver’s urban design, planning, and collaborative model from both a regional and city planning perspective. The presentation will be followed by an interactive discussion that will examine how some of these elements could be applied to Ottawa and the National Capital Region.

Friends of Lansdowne are proud to announce a second Lansdowne Follies: June 12, 4pm at the Mayfair Theatre. After the sold out triumph in February, we have lined up another excellent cast, headed by 2011 Juno award winner Kellylee Evans; guitar virtuoso Terry Tufts; and social rights activist Maude Barlow. Said co-producer Stephen Richer, "June 12 promises another evening of wonderful music, sublime comedy and up-to-date information on the legal challenge." We suggest that people purchase their tickets early, to avoid disappointment. Tickets are available at Compact Music, the Ottawa Folklore Centre, and the Mayfair Theatre.
