It starred Bette MacDonald , Fiona Reid , Jonathan Torrens , Joe Dinicol , and Rejean Cournoyer . It is a Situation comedy sitcom about an earthy, one hit wonder disco queen named Regina Gallant MacDonald who is recommended for appointment as Governor General of Canada Governor General by a conniving Prime Minister of Canada Prime Minister anticipating she will become a national embarrassment in the job, allowing him to move ahead in eliminating the position, along with the Monarchy in Canada Canadian Monarchy . Regina is brash and loud and highly unsuitable for a formal position, but has a charming common touch. Each episode has her becoming embroiled in one scandal or another, usually not of her making, only to have things resolve in her favour by the end. Reid plays her prim and proper executive assistant, Torrens her flakey gay secretary, and Dinicol her laconic, level headed son. Cournoyer plays the Prime Minister s aide. Barry Flatman played the P.M. in the pilot, but did not appear in the regular series. The series brought in fairly good ratings for the CBC and it was expected the show would be renewed for a second season however, the show was cancelled after the Canadian Television Fund s budget was cut by the federal government and CBC could only afford to keep its more popular shows, like Royal Canadian Air Farce , on the air. Six half hour episodes plus an hour long pilot were produced.

The chapel for the Convent was designed by Rev. Georges Bouillon 1887 88. The chapel was dismantled in 1972. The chapel was rebuilt inside the National Gallery of Canada 1987 88. ref http www.dictionaryofarchitectsincanada.org architects view 1168 Rev. Georges Bouillon ref History Although the Convent was demolished in May 1972, the Chapel s interior was salvaged, due to a public appeal to preserve the architectural beauty it displays. This interior is now on permanent display at the National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa. Its careful preservation gives visitors the impression that they are actually entering the Chapel as it was before it was demolished. Its stained glass windows are illuminated with artificial lighting, giving the illusion of outside sunlight, even though the Chapel is actually located in the middle of the Gallery, without any direct access to outdoor light. The Rideau Street Chapel often showcases Janet Cardiff s exhibit Forty Part Motet 2001 , which features the melody Spem in alium by Thomas Tallis . Each of the forty speakers set around the Chapel plays the sound of a single voice of the forty part choir , allowing for a highly enhanced appreciation of the musical piece. In 2004, a Carleton University research centre, Carleton Immersive Media Studio CIMS undertook the project of digitizing the exterior and interior of the Rideau Chapel. Supported by a Canadian Heritage New Media Research Network Fund grant, the digitization process began with the documentation gathered before the demolition of the Convent.
