OTTAWA, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - July 2, 2009) - This document corrects and replaces the advisory sent earlier today at 5:22 PM EDT.

This advisory is subject to change without notice.

Important information for those who are planning to attend the State Funeral tomorrow:

The public may participate in the State Funeral by attending the service at Saint Thomas Church or watching a live broadcast at Monument Lefebvre.

However, members of the public must obtain a seating card to attend.

Seating cards for both venues will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis.
