We are a welcoming space right in the neighbourhood where the tenants from Pinecrest Terrace Community and residents from the surrounding area can access computers, scanners, and printers. Our staff and volunteer team help community members learn about programs and services available to them and help refer them to other organizations.  ​​

Are you interested in gardening? Want to learn how to grow and maintain garden space? New members are welcome to join in the spring, no experience is necessary. 

Pinecrest Terrace has a medium-sized plot that becomes a thriving garden during the gardening season.  The garden collective is primarily made up of adults from Pinecrest Terrace, there are some opportunities to involve children in the neighbourhood as well. In previous years, much of the produce from the garden has been donated to the food bank. 

Call the Community House for more information at (613) 596-6703. 

*The resources available for this program vary based on available funding. This program is offered primarily to Pinecrest Terrace residents, with the possibility of food bank clients (based on capacity). This program is free of charge. 

Although we are not crisis support workers or Councillors, Community House staff does all we can for the community in times of crisis. Tenants often use us as the first point of contact when they are in need of help. We are honoured to be a permanent fixture in the Pinecrest Terrace Community and happy to provide a meeting place for the whole community. We have spent years developing relationships of trust with all of our neighbours and food bank customers, and as such, are uniquely positioned to offer trusted support, referrals, and a liaison with other agencies when crisis arise (natural disasters, family or personal difficulties, violence, fire).   

*This program is funded by the City of Ottawa, and Strategy in Action through the Ottawa Food Bank. This program is offered to people who live in the Community of Pinecrest Terrace and to those who use our food bank services. It is free.
