Great Glabar Park Garage Sale – June 8th 2019

Save the Date!

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.
