We are participating in GLAD Cleaning the Capital this year! This is an opportunity for our neighborhood to clean en masse, and get rid of the litter in the streets and in the parks.
Meet at Kingsmere Park on May 4th at 12:30pm to get your free cleaning supplies and to make sure we are not duplicating effort.

The annual Great Glabar Park Garage Sale will be held on June 8th 2019. Set up at your home. This is a community garage sale where we try to bring in more customers by having lots of sellers.
This corresponds with Ottawa Give Away Weekend, where Ottawa residents are asked to put items at the curb for free where they might otherwise throw those items in the garbage.
The information below is copied from a post on the Glabarhood Facebook group:
Mark your calendars for the Glabarhood Easter Egg hunt!
Saturday, April 20th!
Here’s how to participate:
PLEASE MAKE SURE ALL CANDY/CHOCOLATE IS PEANUT FREE!
Please adhere to the bring 10 eggs/collect 10 eggs rule!
Each year we get feedback that there were no eggs left for the little ones. This is supposed to be a fun event for our neighbourhood. Everyone participating should be able to have the same fun!
While it is below freezing when I write this (@9am), I expect the warmer temperatures being forecast for this afternoon will require us to close the rink. The forecast for the rest of the week and beyond is even warmer, so yesterday was likely the last day of the 2018-2019 rink season.
Thank you to all the volunteers that made this season possible. Some of you know that – before the season started – we had a contractor lined up to build and maintain the ice in order to lighten the burden on volunteers. When the contractor declined last-minute, I was not sure how we could build the ice with the small number of volunteers we had or if we were even going to have a rink in our community this year. Then, a core group of volunteers stepped up to help with the ice build and maintenance. At that point, it was no longer a question of what we were going to do, but how quickly we could organize.
The following people deserve a special thank you for volunteering a lot of their time to make sure we had 2 great ice surfaces all season: Andy, Curtis, Ted, Jeff, and Stephanie. Without these individuals (and their families), there would not have been a rink this year.
Thank you to everyone that volunteered their time to shovel, snow blow, scrape, chip, pack, flood, fix, supervise, clean, and do all the other miscellaneous (and sometimes thankless) tasks that make our community rink possible!
The rink is open for skating today (has been open for a few days – sorry for not posting earlier). We only have 1 volunteer supervisor scheduled for 5-7pm. The fieldhouse will not be open otherwise.
