$2025 Winter\/Pre-Christmas, Ottawa Puzzle Swap\/Sale Meetup$

We have another puzzle swap/sale! Here's our meetup chance to offload or stock up jigsaw puzzles for the winter months AND have the opportunity to support local charity.
Saturday, December 6, 2025
2225 Mer Bleue Road, Orleans
at the Aline Chretien Health Hub
Begin set-up at 12:30 pm.
Buy/Sell/Trade begins at 1:00 pm.

HOW IT WORKS:
1. Please secure your puzzle pieces to prevent loss or accidents. (E.g., ziplock bag, elastic band around the box, or painter's tape)
2. Admission goes directly to the hosting charity thanks to their venue space to hold this event.
3. Respect that Buy/Sell/Trade starts strictly after 1:00 pm, and not before.
4. Bring as many puzzles as you want.
5. Think of how you want to transport your puzzles. Tote bags? Rubber bins? Stroller basket? Pulled around the room in a wagon?
6. You choose whether to set up a station, or wander around the room with your puzzles. When we rent indoor venues, there will always be tables provided on-site (the group may have to set up the tables, to keep the rental fees affordable).
7. Do you have a way to separate your Available/Out puzzles versus ones that you just traded/accepted/In? For some people, that's a separate bin under the table. Others put away their new puzzles in an opaque bag or covered by a hoodie.
8. Yes, you can sell puzzles. Come with cash. Come with your puzzle boxes labelled with the price, using either painter's tape or sticky notes.
9. Yes, puzzles with missing pieces do sell - or can be swapped for another puzzle with missing pieces. Please label how many are missing - and where, if possible. Thank you for making the puzzle community ecofriendly and ethical.
10. Members typically post their anticipated 'out' pile on the week of the swap date. Posts are on the main Ottawa Puzzle Swap/Sell page. You can share what's in your pile too. This gives others an idea of the puzzle options.
