See slide shows and commentary of the Edmonton and Winnipeg Humane Societies. Both shelters — one less than a year old and the other about two and half — have influenced the OHS shelter design heavily.

Get Involved

Many of you who care about the future of Ottawa's animals have requested help in soliciting gifts from friends, neighbours and coworkers. To assist, we have developed a solicitor's kit full of information, tips and pledge envelopes.

To obtain your kit, please contact Jessie-Lee Wallace at 613-725- 3166 ext. 254 or jessielw@ottawahumane.ca.

Would you like to host an event and raise money for a new shelter for the animals in our care?

Each year the animals at the Ottawa Humane Society are helped by motivated and hard-working community members who organize and run a fundraising event.

By contacting the OHS Building Campaign before your event, we are able to assist you where necessary to make your event an outstanding success!

The Building Campaign Manager can be reached at 613-725-3166 ext. 279 or at annas@ottawahumane.ca to help you with your fantastic event!

  • Types of Events

While the OHS Building Campaign is able to provide some support and assistance, we are unable to run your event for you. We suggest all event organizers be realistic about the scope of their event, and run something that they have the means to organize successfully.

Consider whether your event will be large scale or small scale? Will it be internal, within your school, business, or organization, or open to the community?

Need ideas? Let us point you in the right direction!
