One of Ottawa’s most prominent architecture firms has drawn up some well-thought-out blueprints for benevolence by matching all new donations made to four local charities that it has identified as vital to the community.
Hobin Architecture is supporting BGC Ottawa (Boys and Girls Club of Ottawa), Cornerstone Housing for Women, Multifaith Housing Initiative and The Ottawa Mission. It has pledged to match donations, up to a total of $10,000 per beneficiary, made by the end of June.
To stimulate new support, the company is asking that the giving comes from individuals who have not donated to these charities in the past. By all means, donors should name-drop Hobin Architecture when they’re donating their dollars in order to double the impact.

Much like with the COVID vaccine supply, the owners of Corner Peach know how hard it is to keep up with demand.
That’s why Emma Campbell and Caroline Murphy are in the process of taking over the vacant storefront immediately adjacent to their existing establishment, thereby doubling the size of their loveable little corner store nestled in the heart of Ottawa’s Chinatown district. The space opened up last fall when the former tenant, a bike shop, moved to a new location.
The expansion will allow the small businesswomen to run a larger, more efficient commercial kitchen that can satisfy the demand for locally prepared food.
