One of the many defining qualities that make Old Ottawa South a special place is the ubiquitous front porch. Every year, on the first Saturday in September, our community holds its annual "porch" sale. The event enjoys a high degree of community participation. Over the years, this event has gained widespread popularity and garage "salers" from all over the region travel to the neighbourhood in search of that special treasure. It is also a popular event with the local University population, many of whom are furnishing their first apartments.
Residents are encouraged to donate 10% of their sales to OSCA to help with advertising and various community initiatives.
2011 Porch Sale: Saturday, September 10, rain or shine.
