Would you like to know the value of a family heirloom?
The McIntosh Gallery at The University of Western Ontario is pairing up with the Rotary Club of London East to bring Antiques Appraisal Day to the city on April 25.
The public is invited to find out the value of collectables at Westmount Shopping Centre 9 a.m.-4 p.m.

No guns please.
