The Glebe Community Association (GCA) has set up a bank account to accept donations for victims of the three-alarm fire on January 18th that burned down a multi-unit apartment building at 114 Glebe Avenue.

“The Glebe and the City of Ottawa is rallying to help,” said GCA President Caroline Vanneste.  “Many of the tenants didn’t have insurance and have lost everything.”

A special account earmarked for the contribution fund has been opened at the Royal Bank at Bank Street and First Avenue.  Donations can be made at any RBC branch or online if you have an RBC account.  The account number is  00116-1012954. Cheques are also accepted and should be made out to the Glebe Community Association with the special account number written in the memo portion of the cheque. The GCA board is working with the Red Cross and the residents affected to determine how to distribute the money.

Join the GCA on Saturday, February 20th at the Glebe Community Centre for an evening of music featuring the very popular Brothers Chaffey and Fiftymen … and special guests. Tickets, $20, can be purchased at Compact Music (both locations) and the GCC. Doors open at 7 p.m. There will also be a silent auction of fabulous goods and services donated by Glebe BIA businesses. Sponsored by the GCA, the Glebe BIA and GNAG. This is going to be a hot double bill — both acts are highly acclaimed.
