A handful of member groups are hosting events and would love your participation, presence or support:
Join the Ottawa Shambhala Centre at their Sit-A-Thon fundraiser on Saturday, March 7, 2026
$1700 out of $2000 has been raised so far and they would appreciate any help to get past the finish line. Your donations here will be supporting the Ottawa Food Bank, Shambhala Centre and Heartwood House. You’re also welcome to attend the centre at any time from 9AM - 9PM and sit, even just for 10 minutes.
You’re invited to EcoEquitable’s 'Tapestries of Weaving Exhibition' March 5 - 29, 2026
The release party is March 5 from 6PM-8PM at the Orleans Gallery of the Ottawa School of Art. This event is premiering the final work of 100s of hands that came together in creating a larger-than-life weaving wall using strips of up cycled fabric at the National Gallery of Canada last year. Learn more here.
