ST. JOHN'S, April 29 /CNW/ - The Canada Pavilion will be featured at the Newfoundland Home Show from April 29 to May 2, 2010.
"The Government of Canada is pleased to bring the Canada Pavilion to the Newfoundland Home Show this year," said the Honourable Rona Ambrose, Minister of Public Works and Government Services. "The Pavilion provides an excellent opportunity for Canadians and visitors to learn more about government programs and services available to them and to find out more about its priorities."
