It is with great regret and sadness that we inform you of the death of Mrs. Liliane Stewart on Saturday 3rd May, 2014. Mrs. Stewart was a Life Governor of the DCRA, Honorary Commandant of the Bisley Team and, with her late husband, an enthusiastic supporter of target shooting in Canada.
The funeral has been scheduled for 11 am on Tuesday, 13 May, at the Notre-Dame Basilica, 110 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montreal. The DCRA has been specifically asked to participate in this ceremony.
It is hoped that as many members and friends of the DCRA as possible, especially Bisley Team members, will attend the service, wearing full #1 dress - blazer, tie and Bisley hat. Since this will be a military funeral, the wearing of medals by those eligible is encouraged.
It is likely that there will be a very large attendance at the funeral service. DCRA members will be seated together if possible, but it is advisable to be at the Basilica by 10:15 am in order to achieve this.
If there is sufficient demand, the DCRA will charter a mini-bus and driver to travel from Ottawa to Montreal and back on the day of the funeral. There will be a very early start on Tuesday morning, so local accommodation is recommended.  It may be possible to arrange for overnight accommodation at the "Connaught Hilton" for the nights before and after the service. Members who wish to take advantage of this must advise the DCRA as quickly as possible, not later than noon EDT on Thursday 8th May. Please write to Kathy Corcoran  kcorcoran@dcra.ca or phone her at the DCRA Office at 613-829-8281. We will inform you on Thursday afternoon whether or not such arrangements are possible.
