ON THE BLOCK! HERITAGE OTTAWA'S GRAND ONLINE AUCTION IS COMING

Ottawa, it’s that time again! Heritage Ottawa’s Grand Online Auction is back from March 8 to 14, 2026, and this year, it’s going to be bigger, better, and more exciting than ever. Whether you’re hunting for a hidden gem, a unique experience, or just something that makes your heart skip a beat, this auction is your chance to find it and support a great cause while at it.

We’re still accepting donations from local businesses and organizations. Got something you think our community would love? Every contribution helps protect at-risk heritage buildings and landscapes and fuels programs that bring Ottawa’s stories to life, from walking tours and lectures to workshops and publications.

This year, we have a much greater variety of donations, including tickets and experiences from the Stratford Festival, Parc Omega, Saunders Farm, and more. To make things even more fun, we’ve added curated experience baskets: think theatre passes, a restaurant gift certificate, and a spa or hotel stay bundled together. Bidders, beware! This could spark a little friendly competition!

All kinds of donations are welcome: fine art, vintage clothing, jewellery, silverware, books, experiences, gift certificates, travel vouchers, meals, in-kind services, and anything else that could intrigue and delight.

Our 2024 auction raised over $17,000, and with your support, we’re aiming even higher this year. Contact the Auction Working Group at info@heritageottawa.org to donate or learn more.

Get ready to discover, bid, and celebrate Ottawa’s heritage. Let’s make the 2026 Grand Online Auction our best one yet!
