🎄✨ Move over Halloween… it’s CHRISTMAS SEASON! ✨🎄

The most wonderful time of the year is right around the corner — and in Osgoode, that means one thing… Christmas in the Village! 🎅🎁

We’re getting ready for another unforgettable season filled with festive fun, community spirit, and plenty of holiday cheer — and we’re inviting local businesses to join in the magic!

We’re looking for donations of gift certificates or products to use as prizes and raffles for our upcoming community events, including:
🎄 Christmas in the Village
⛸️ Family Skates
🪩 Kids’ Glow Dance Parties
🍽️ Seniors’ Lunch

Your business will be recognized on our social media, on event signage, and at the event where your prize is featured — plus, it’s a great way to connect directly with new customers and show your community spirit! 💛

💌 To donate, please contact Rob at [email protected]
by November 17, 2025.

Of course, cash donations are always welcome too — but gift certificates and products make a big impact, helping spread joy that lasts well beyond the holidays.

🎃⛸️ Thank you, Osgoode! ⛸️🎃

Our Halloween Skate Party was a spook-tacular success! 👻 With your generous donations of Halloween treats — and OVCA providing the free ice time — we had around 80 people out enjoying some skating fun today! 🧡

A huge thank you to the Osgoode Girl Guides for their help making the event run so smoothly. 🙌

OVCA hopes to keep the fun going with a community skate each month… so stay tuned for the next one! ⛸️❄️

🍬🎃 Leftover Halloween candy? We’ll put it to good use! 🎃🍬

The Osgoode Village Community Association is collecting unused or extra Halloween candy to create treat bags for our fang-tastic Halloween Skate. If you have candy to donate, please email us at [email protected] to arrange pickup.

🧡 OVCA is covering the cost of admission, so everyone can enjoy a free afternoon of skating, music, and spooky fun — costumes encouraged! 👻

🛼 Come in costume (if you dare!) and show off your Halloween spirit on the ice.
🍬 Every skater gets a treat bag of Halloween candy — while supplies last!
💀 Family-friendly fun, costumes encouraged, and all ages welcome.

Remember: All children 10 years of age and under must be actively supervised by one parent or guardian (age 14+) – on ice or as a spectator. Skaters 10 years and under are required to wear a CSA-certified hockey helmet. Bicycle, ski and snow sport helmets are not permitted for children 10 years of age and under.

Your small donation will help make this a sweet day for our community’s little ghosts and goblins! 🕸️🦇

Thankfully, we are finally getting a good soaking of rain! Hooray! For those who may have lost their well water during our drought, it is very important to have you wells tested again before consuming.

Ottawa has free well water testing that can be dropped off in town during the week at various locations, or at the Osgoode Foodland on Tuesdays.
