What to Expect

On Sunday, Sept 20, 2026, five Glebe residents opened their homes to the public to help support GNAG’s subsidy program that helps children with special needs participate in programs and activities.

It was wonderful to see what homeowners have done to breathe life into older properties and how they decorate and live in their spaces.

Guests explored this unique collection of homes at their own pace, travelling between locations by foot, bike, or car or the free shuttle bus.

Throughout the tour, volunteers were stationed in each home to welcome guests, answer questions, and help guide visitors through the experience. Every home was beautifully accented with floral arrangements by Bloomfields.

After the tour, guests joined us at the Glebe Community Centre from 2:30–5:00 pm for tea and a wonderful selection of homemade baked goods.

Supporting the Community

The Glebe House Tour is a fundraiser for GNAG’s Community Development Fund (CDF).

Proceeds help fund:

  • Integration Support Program – providing additional support so children with special needs can participate in GNAG programs and camps.

  • Financial Assistance Program – helping make GNAG programs and camps more affordable for individuals and families in our community.

Every ticket purchased helps make recreation and community programming more accessible.
