Keep OGC at Elmgrove Avenue 

 

The City of Ottawa has advised the Ottawa Gymnastics Centre (OGC) that it must vacate its Elmgrove Avenue facility by June 30, 2027, citing an "end-of-life" designation for the building.

To date, OGC has not received information explaining what "end-of-life" means, how this determination was made, whether the designation can be reviewed, or why extending the current lease has not been considered despite more than $400,000 in facility improvements completed in 2023. 

OGC currently serves more than 2,500 families and has provided affordable gymnastics opportunities for children and youth for over 65 years.

We are asking City Council and City staff to work with OGC to:

  • Provide greater clarity regarding the facility's future;

  • Explore all viable options for continued occupancy at Elmgrove Avenue; and

  • If relocation is necessary, help identify a suitable long-term home in central Ottawa that will ensure continuity of programming for thousands of families.

We have time to find a solution, but planning must begin now.

Please sign and share our petition to show City Council and City staff that affordable, accessible youth sport in central Ottawa matters.

We need the City to step up, explore all leasing options, and protect non-profit youth sports in the urban core.

Please sign and share to show Council that central Ottawa cares about youth sport!
