Great news!

Can you recommend a place to sleep.

Hi Peter

The OVJ have gotten in deep with the Carp Airport Authority and we will have the choice of 3 or 4 places that will give our pilots a block of rooms at the Gov-Rate - To early to book we will have that in place in the spring 2018. The Comfort Inn and the Country Inn were mention at the meeting - Both of those I believe would be in Kanata near the Airport

Great news!

Can you recommend a place to sleep.
