Upcoming Events in Ottawa

Thank you for supporting the 2018 Salvation Army Annual Charity Golf Classic.

All funds from this event will support The Salvation Army’s Emergency and Disaster Services program in Ottawa as well as sending more children in need to Salvation Army summer camps. Your support makes a great impact! When you give to The Salvation Army, you are giving to your community. The assistance we provide is unconditional and available to all and would not be possible without the support of our community and friends like you.

Thank you to our sponsors Monat Global Canada, Country 101.1 FM, Ottawa Champions Baseball, Classic Care Pharmacy and Emond Harden Law.

We look forward to seeing you next year for another round of golf to help The Salvation Army support people in need in your community.
