Hold an Event for the Animals

Would you like to host an event and raise money 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 before your event, we are able to assist you where necessary to make your event an outstanding success!

Our community events representative can be reached at 613-725-3166 ext. 263 or at events@ottawahumane.ca to help you with your fantastic event!

Types of Events

While the OHS 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!
