Become a member at the Ottawa Outdoor Gear Library to get unlimited access to outdoor gear! As part of their mission to respond to barriers to nature-based experiences, membership is FREE. Often income limits our ability to try Canada's much-loved outdoor activities but this doesn't have to be the case. You can borrow ice skates, cross country skis and other equipment by going here: ottawaoutdoorgearlibrary.com/borrow-gear And if you have equipment in good condition that you are no longer using, perhaps you would like to donate it to this worthy cause.
The Outdoor Gear Library opens at its Overbrook location at the Overbrook Community Centre, 33 Quill Street, on Jan. 11, 11 am to 3 pm. For details, please visit ottawaoutdoorgearlibrary.com. Overbrook pop-up hours are Tuesdays 2 to 6 pm and Saturdays 11 am to 3 pm.
