La bibliothèque d'équipement de plein-air d'Ottawa se consacre à fournir un accès équitable aux activités extérieures et aux programmes organisés autour de ces dernières.
Depuis nos débuts en 2021, nous avons réunis une communauté constituée de 800 membres et avons soutenu plus de 30 organisations partenaires en prêtant du matériel et en aidant à l'organisation des programmes de plein air.
The purpose of the Library is to provide opportunities for individuals and groups to borrow equipment with as few barriers as possible. That's why our lending program is 100% FREE!

Le but de la bibliothèque est d'offrir aux individus et aux groupes la possibilité d'emprunter du matériel en rencontrant le moins d'obstacles possible. C'est pour cela que notre programme de prêt est GRATUIT à 100 % !
Nous partons du principe que les coûts et les obstacles systémiques ne doivent pas empêcher les possibilités d’essayer de nouvelles activités et de profiter des bienfaits des loisirs de plein-air sur la santé physique et mentale.
We aim to serve people living with low incomes, racialized communities, 2SLGBTQ+ people, newcomers, youth, and anyone else who experiences barriers to outdoor activity.
No one who wishes to borrow gear will be turned away, however we encourage folks who have the financial resources to support a small business via gear rental to do so. Alte

No one who wishes to borrow gear will be turned away, however we encourage folks who have the financial resources to support a small business via gear rental to do so. Alternatively, you can donate to our organization when borrowing gears if you have the means.

Nous visons à servir les personnes à faible revenu, les communautés racialisées, les personnes 2SLGBTQ+, les nouveaux.elles arrivant.e.s, les jeunes et toute autre personne confrontée à des obstacles qui les empêcheraient de profiter des activités de plein-air.
Aucune personne souhaitant emprunter du matériel ne sera refusée mais nous encourageons les personnes qui ont les ressources financières nécessaires pour soutenir une petite ou moyenne entreprise via la location de matériel à le faire. Alternativement, vous pouvez aussi faire un don à notre organisme lorsque vous empruntez du matériel si vous en avez les moyens.
