Garage Sale Day returns to Orillia to support affordable housing

Bargain seekers and neighbourhood treasure hunters will have plenty of reasons to hit the streets on Sat., June 7 as Orillia's city-wide Garage Sale Day makes its return. Residents are encouraged to host or shop garage sales to support local efforts to expand affordable housing. Residents can declutter their homes, find great deals and donate proceeds of the day to a meaningful cause. "I encourage everyone to take part again this year and be part of something that brings people together while supporting affordable housing in our city," said Mayor Don McIsaac. Last year more than 100 garage sales took place across the Sunshine City, raising $4,500 for Orillia's Affordable Housing Reserve. The fund, created in 2020, supports non-profit and government organizations working to increase access to affordable housing locally. No registration is required to participate. Anyone wishing to donate all or a portion of proceeds can do so online. This year, a Pop-Up Shop at St. Paul's Centre at 62 Peter Street North will open at 7:30 a.m. to offer garage sale maps and vendor tables. Complimentary hamburgers will be available from Harvey's Orillia from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. while supplies last. Participants are encouraged to advertise their sales on social media using the #OrilliaGarageSaleDay, and follow city signage rules for promoting locations. Signs can't be attached to utility poles or trees and must be removed within 24 hours.
