In memory of Elaine Hoag, an archivist both professionally, with Library and Archives Canada, and in her dancing life with the Ardbrae Dancers of Ottawa. With our mutual love of the strathspey poussette and covering opportunities, it\u2019s the kind of strathspey we would have enjoyed dancing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
