Scottish dancing at its best!
Students from the Stephenson School of Dance received the Scottish Highland Dancing Awards.
Once the awards ceremony adjourned, the head table was piped out and a reception and gin tasting followed. The winners
of the Dancing Awards performed Scottish dancing followed by a raffle. We would like to thank the Quebec
Thistle Committee for this event.
