The Lumberyard

We are delighted to share a glimpse of our Waterfowl & Waterways Exhibit at Lumber Lane Gallery. This beautiful collection brings together photography and artwork inspired by the quiet beauty of our waterways and the wildlife that call them home.

We are grateful to each of the talented artists who helped bring this exhibit to life:

Kim Voss, Kate Reed, Leroy and Kathy Buckley, Tammy Hudson, Pam Hansen, Brian Allen, Mary Jean Dzurisin, Sharine Aupke, and Rick Decorie.

Please join us for the artist reception on September 19 from 10:00 a.m.–noon, during the Lumberyard Farmers Market. We hope you’ll stop in and experience the exhibit in person!

We are delighted to welcome the Ottawa YMCA to the Lumberyard community! As of September 1, they will officially have an office at the Lumberyard. We’re honored to support the important work they do for local children and families including their before- and after-school programs at our local schools. Welcome to The Lumberyard family!

The next phase of renovations at The Lumberyard is officially underway!

This next chapter will bring four new spacious offices—and so much more—to our historic building. Today’s pictures show the work in progress, but we can already see the exciting possibilities taking shape.

We’re excited to continue creating spaces where local businesses, organizations, and community connections can grow and thrive. The Lumberyard is rooted in history and growing through community—and there is still so more to come!

Stay tuned as we share the progress 🤩
