Neighbours Gather for IPCA Christmas Party in Support of Ottawa Youth

On December 3, neighbours came together at Beyond the Pale in City Centre for the Island Park Community Association’s Community Christmas Party, a holiday fundraiser in support of the Youth Services Bureau of Ottawa (YSB).

The night was a chance to celebrate the season, connect as a community, and support youth-focused programs that help prevent homelessness and strengthen long-term stability for young people in Ottawa.

During a short welcome presentation, IPCA recognized Beyond the Pale as a true neighbourhood partner.

Owners Al and Shane Clark are long-time Island Park Drive residents, and their connection to the community runs deep.

Thanks to our donors and sponsors!

A big part of the evening’s fundraising came from donated items that were auctioned off, with proceeds supporting YSB:

• Cashmere Casa  (1263 Wellington St W) donated a beautiful cashmere sweater, generously provided by Dagii Janchiv Jamtz, owner of Cashmere Casa

• Shoppers Drug Mart Westboro (Store #1396, 410 Richmond Road) donated two gift baskets, generously provided by Jordan Clark

To everyone who attended, contributed, bid on auction items, and helped spread the word: thank you. Your support helps ensure youth in Ottawa can access the services and resources they need, when they need them most.

Support YSB!
