Our annual summer event returns to the grounds of the British High Commission

We are immensely excited that our annual Garden Party is returning to the beautiful grounds of Earnscliffe, official residence of the British High Commissioner to Canada. We are grateful to the High Commissioner, Susan Jane le Jeune d’Allegeershecque, for hosting the event and for opening the gardens to us.

Earnscliffe is an official National Historic Site of Canada, and was home to our first Prime Minister, John A Macdonald.

We are especially pleased that the capacity of the grounds means that we are able to open our Garden Party to other British universities’ alumni in the National Capital Region.

Place: Earnscliffe, 140 Sussex Drive, Ottawa

Earnscliffe is one of Ottawa’s most storied sites. However, as an active diplomatic establishment, its security measures are unavoidably strict, so it is not generally open to the public. This year’s Garden Party will, therefore, be a rare setting for the alumni community to meet, to renew old friendships, and to make new ones.

The modest cost of the event will enable us to provide everyone with canapés, Pimms, and other refreshments.

Please note that no parking is available in the immediate area; attendees will need to make arrangements either to be dropped off or to park elsewhere and to walk to the site. Friends and family of alumni are, as always, welcome.

To reserve places, please download, complete, and mail us a copy of the registration form, to reach us no later than 12 July 2018.
