The CBBAG Ottawa Valley Chapter meets on the second Wednesday of each month (September through June) from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm. Our meetings take place at Sandy Hill Community Centre, 250 Somerset Street East, Ottawa. We are not yet set up to add a Zoom option for our meetings but we hope to do so in the future.

The meetings are open to both members and the general public and involve chapter updates, show and tell, activities, such as presentations, demonstrations or mini-workshops on a wide variety of topics and a sharing of ideas and projects. We are a friendly, welcoming bunch of bibliophile kooks! Bring your projects old and new, but most importantly, bring your enthusiasm for the book arts!
