Project Snowbank
Project Snowbank is an entirely student-led snowsuit drive, based out of Glebe Collegiate Institute. This is the project’s second year running, after a very successful snowsuit drive last year, thanks to the generosity of the community.
The students leading Project Snowbank are reaching out to Glebe neighbourhoods, once again, for engaged community members who’d like to donate winter clothing, such as outgrown jackets, snow-pants, mitts, hats, boots, and more. All donations go the project’s local charities partners, the Ottawa Snowsuit Fund, and the Maison Marie-Louise foundation, both of who help underprivileged and vulnerable children and families in Ottawa.
Project Snowbank is also partnering with the Glebe Neighbourhood Activities Group, to help with donation collections, and collaborating with multiple community centers across Ottawa to amplify the initiative. This year, the project is also expanding to Toronto, where Glebe CI is challenging a sister-school, Bishop Allen Academy, to run a snowsuit drive under the Project Snowbank name, to inspire friendly inter-city competition regarding which school can raise the most donations for charity.
The snowsuit drive will be running from November 3rd – 24th, 2025. Donations can be dropped off at the Glebe Neighborhood Activity Group (GNAG) center (175 Third Avenue, Ottawa) and at Glebe Collegiate Institute (212 Glebe Ave, Ottawa). More donation drop-box locations may be confirmed at a later date.

Come join us at the second annual Glebe Halloween Village for a fun and free daytime trick-or-treating event that everyone can enjoy!
If you or your loved one have ever missed out on Hallowe’en because of your access needs, we want to welcome you to the second annual Glebe Halloween Village!
Please feel free to reach out to us with any specific access concerns or questions (glebehalloweenvillage@gmail.com). We want this event to be fun and comfortable for as many people as possible.
An enthusiastic group of volunteer neighbours and community members are delighted to present the Glebe Halloween Village again this year!
This event is perfect for families looking for a fun and accessible Halloween experience.
Head over to Glebe Avenue (between Lyon Street and Bank Street) on Saturday, October18th, 2025 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. for a memorable experience filled with treats, costumes, and community spirit. (Rain Date Sunday, October 19th, 2025)
The block will be transformed into a free, accessible daytime trick-or-treating experience with so many things to see and do:
- treat stations at the ends of driveways (with food and non-food treats)
- visitors from The League of Superheroes
- a make-and-take craft station
- a Flow Recreation Therapy regulation station
- so many kind and welcoming neighbours of all ages!
We look forward to welcoming children (and those young at heart) with mobility, sensory, or intellectual disabilities who may not typically get to participate in trick or treating!
We will be collecting donations at the event for anyone who is interested. You can donate to the Glebe Halloween Village and our future events because, from the interest in this event, we know we need to do more in the future! You can also donate to the Ottawa Food Bank because people in our community are facing hunger.
