OTTAWA—Following a major rehabilitation project carried out by the National Capital Commission (NCC), the greenhouses located on the grounds of Rideau Hall, and which serve the six official residences in Canada’s Capital Region, will reopen on Tuesday, September 28, 2010.

To mark this event, Her Excellency the Right Honourable Michaëlle Jean, Governor General of Canada, accompanied by her husband, His Excellency Jean-Daniel Lafond, will deliver a speech in the presence of NCC Chief Executive Officer Marie Lemay, NCC employees, workers and other guests.
