| Dear friends and supporters, As we end this year, we want to express our gratitude for your continued support and enthusiasm. We asked for your support to buy new tools for our inventory and our dedicated OTL WorkSpace, and you responded generously in recent weeks for our #CatchTheBuzz Giving Tuesday campaign. As a local volunteer-powered, community-oriented non-profit organization, every dollar of each membership, workshop, or donation goes towards the OTL and its mission of providing access over ownership, helping makers make, promoting the circular economy, and empowering and connecting people! You've seen it: our mission and community continue to grow and gain momentum, especially as we recover from the pandemic – more people throughout Ottawa now choose to borrow, not buy, each and every year! In order to ensure we can sustain our space and operations into the future, the OTL will be raising prices in 2024 to keep pace with increasing costs. (We know: boo!) | Type | 2023 | 2024 |
|---|
| Student | $160 | $192 | | Individual | $200 | $240 | | Household | $250 | $300 | | Combo: OTL + WorkSpace | $500 | $600 |
We know times are tight for you too, so we're inviting you to renew your membership before the end of 2023. The additional time of membership purchased will be added on to your existing membership. For example, if your membership expires Feb 1st, 2024 and you renew today to safe money, your new expiry date will be Feb 1st, 2025.
You can renew your membership via your MyTurn account or come visit us at OTL where we're happy to help you out.
We aim to provide access to tools for everyone regardless of your means. So if you need a hand, apply to our OTL Community Fund which provides pay-what-you-can memberships. To every one of our members, supporters, and friends, we wish you a safe and happy holiday season. We're grateful for your continued support and excited to make great things together in 2024! |
