OTTAWA -- Anthony Macauley Associates (AMA) would like to thank everyone that participated in yesterday's open house and made it such a success. The new home of our Ottawa Office in Suite 1605 at 85 Albert Street could not have been greeted in a better manner.

Walking down the hall from the elevators, you could hear either the haunting sounds of Mr. Andy Cameron's bagpipes or the gentle hum of conversation (and maybe even smell the aroma of Mr. Montbleau's carefully selected Scotch whiskeys). From one of our guest connoisseurs, Mr. Gord Gray, there was a delightful and memorable recitation of Robbie Burns' poem, Ode to a Haggis, in its original dialect. And who could forget the haggis itself?

We would also like to extend a special thank you to a member of our team, Pierre Montbleau, who conceived the idea of the event and saw it through to the very final stages. Through him our wonderful volunteer server, Rebecca Emery, and connoissuers were able to add their personal touches and make the event so unforgettable. Pierre's hard work and dedication made it possible.

We look forward to continuing a long and healthy relationship with all of clients and partners, present and future. Thank you all for coming.
