OTTAWA, Aug. 21, 2017 /CNW/ - Her Excellency Sharon Johnston will put on her apron, roll up her sleeves and get to work in the kitchen with youth from the Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa (BGCO) on Tuesday, August 22, 2017, at 4 p.m.

Her Excellency will bake cinnamon buns with youth between the ages of 6 and 18 enrolled in various BGCO programs.
