CHNA Community Garage Sale
Join in the Kitchissippi-wide Community Garage Sale!
The CHNA is part of a Kitchissippi-wide garage sale. It's a great opportunity to socialize with neighbours and get rid of some stuff following Spring cleaning!
When: 1st weekend in June
Time: Usually 8 am to 1 pm or until it's all SOLD (but no later than 6 pm)
Who's participating: Every year we put together a map of who intends on participating in the garage sale. But keep an eye out, many households participate and may not be on the map! To be added to this map, email us your street address and we'll take it from there. Below you'll find the 2019 map.

Tips for sellers
- Promote your own sale. You can add your address to this map or to the Kitchissippi Facebook event page . However, consider putting the word out in other ways like social media, inviting your friends or put up signs on your street corners.
- If it's a bit rainy the day of the sale, YOU choose whether to hold off until Sunday (our recommended rain date) or go ahead on the Saturday.
- We encourage sales to start at 8 am but you set your own start/end times.
- Didn't sell all your stuff but want it gone? All households participating are encouraged to leave their items out throughout the afternoon with a "Free" sign. Start time for the free giveaway is your choice but please clean up by 6 pm! An alternative is that Ottawa’s official Spring Give Away Weekend is usually held shortly thereafter.
- Let's make our Kitchissippi garage sale a bit of a community party. Kids can run lemonade stands, musicians can play on porches, and more!
- Some community associations are encouraging donations to a charity of your choice. The CHNA is leaving this up to you!
