	Monarchy Canada
		Many Canadians have taken what little they know of Rideau Hall from brief news reports when Cabinets are sworn into office, or possibly by a recollection of the Queen strolling its grounds with a viceregal occupant, or only in the context of the quite justified tumult when its grounds were closed to the public.
		Happily, in a magnificent and sumptuously-produced book on Rideau Hall, one of its most recent occupants, the former chatelaine, Mrs Gerda Hnatyshyn, with her collaborator, an advisor to Rideau Hall on history and architecture, have removed any excuse for such ignorance or lack of pride on the part of Her Majesty's anadian subjects.
		Clearly, this book reflects a labour of love by Mrs Hnatyshyn and Mrs Belisle and the team who worked with them at Rideau Hall, both to produce this work, and to bring so much intelligent restoration and beauty to the Queen's home during the time Her Excellency was chatelaine.
