Become a Member to access our inventory of gear

As part of our mission to respond to barriers that create inequitable access to outdoor recreation and sport, membership to the library is free.


If you are excited about our mission, and able to make a donation, you can do so in cash or e-transfer to ottawaoutdoorgearlibrary@gmail.com . Donations allow us to continue to operate this free lending library and create outdoor opportunities for all.


Please note: 

  • The minimum age for membership is 18 years old. If you are under 18 years old and would still like to borrow gear, please have someone over 18 register and borrow the gear on your behalf.
  • Please note that we are not a city-funded initiative and we are not connected to the Ottawa Public Library. We are an independent non-profit.

technical difficulties

We're noticing that members are struggling to reserve skis, snowshoes, and skates through our MyTurn system. Thanks for your patience as we navigate this issue with our inventory software provider. In the meantime, please don't hesitate to visit us during open hours to do a walk-in reservation and pick-up. Our staff and volunteers are happy to assist you!
