Yesterday the participants of Doors Open 2017 were announced: it’s quite the list.
I think I’d like to go to the Canada Council Art Bank this year. I’ve never seen the Embassy of Hungary nor the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia, could see those. And oh my neighbours at the Stadacona Hall, the Brunei High Commission are participating – must see that building: I’ll put that as number 1.
I have seen Earscriffe the British High Commissioner’s Official Residence: it’s spectacular. The Embassy of Algeria the Fleck-Paterson House is a must see. One of the rare houses whose interior is designated – a decision made to protect the house from a reckless owner. If you’ve not seen the Diefenbunker – that’s also a must. There’s a restaurant not far from there, you should stop in at Alice’s Village Cafe very funky. Many moons ago I saw the US Embassy that’s quite the building, perhaps not the ideal time to visit, but if you want to remember there are buildings that you must book ahead.
And one last thing take note of whats open Saturday & Sunday vs Saturday or Sunday.
