RMHC Ottawa Skifest 2025

At Ronald McDonald House Charities Ottawa, we are committed to providing a warm, safe, and compassionate home away from home for families with seriously ill children. By participating in our online auction, you're helping ensure that a sick child has what they need most: their family. 

As we celebrate our 33rd annual Skifest, we invite you to join us by bidding in our auction, which will run from Monday, February 17th at 1:00 PM through Sunday, March 2nd at 9:00 PM. Your participation is critical in helping us expand our House from 14 to 36 suites, adding 7,000 Nights of Comfort for families in need. This year’s auction will play a pivotal role in helping us meet the growing need for our services. 

On behalf of the families we support, thank you for your generosity and commitment to making a real difference in their lives.

Ronald McDonald House Ottawa is a nonprofit organization that opens their doors to hundreds of families each year when they have children who are seriously ill or injured. 

We provide 36 private suites to families who live too far to commute and are located next to CHEO (Childrens Hospital of Eastern Ontario) We offer free parking, places to play, cook, rest, and connect with other families.

We also operate 2 Ronald McDonald House Family Rooms in the children’s hospital which directly serve Ottawa’s core communities. 

All our programs surround families with the resources, services and support they need, removing barriers so they can be at the heart of their child’s care.
