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

Napoleon's bicorne gathering dust on the hatstand? Is that Edo Period tea set taking up valuable counter space? Or maybe the Modigliani clashes with the new paint scheme.

Not to despair.

Heritage Ottawa is all about decluttering. And our second Grand Online Auction happening March 8–14, 2026, is the best way to divest those surplus treasures while supporting HO's vital advocacy work on behalf of at-risk heritage buildings and landscapes, as well as our robust community education program that includes public lectures, walking tours, publications, workshops, and more.

We're on the hunt for unique new or gently used items—fine art, vintage clothing, silverware, jewellery, heritage and architecture books, gold fillings (not so much), and the like. Donations can also take the form of theatre, movie, or sports-event tickets, gift certificates, travel vouchers, restaurant meals, in-kind services, cottage stays, or even coffee and conversation with some of Ottawa's best and brightest.

Our 2024 auction was a tremendous success, raising more than $17,000, and showcasing the generosity of local individuals and businesses. Impressive as our initial effort was, we're gearing up to exceed that total in 2026, and bang the gavel on $20,000 or more.

To make it happen, we need your donations to fill the auction catalogue. Please contact the Auction Working Group at info@heritageottawa.org

Thank you for your support!
