Shop local

This informational page displays links to local businesses which are in the vicinity of our community, who provide many varied services facilitating a better quality of life.

Shopping “local” benefits us all,  from lessening the impact on the environment, to supporting the livelihoods of the local business owners and providing employment opportunities for the community at large, in doing so, facilitating making this a creative and eclectic urban shopping district.

With shops, services and restaurants just a short walk away, it’s not surprising that Westboro Village  and Wellington West have both become the most sought after addresses in Ottawa.

Ottawa Tool Library

Simply put, a tool library is a place where you can borrow tools instead of books.
Tool libraries evolved because people wanted to pool resources in a way that would benefit the environment and save space and money – rather than every household owning its own dust-covered drill for that once-a-year job or keeping that pasta maker received as a wedding gift that may never be removed from the box.
