An incredibly valuable community hub!

The two lovely owners feed people. They clothe them, help them with whatever. This store is the community hub this neighbourhood so desperately needs.
They support this work by selling all sorts of great stuff that all sorts of us donate. It's a beautiful mission and a really fun place to spend time. Lots of people volunteer. Lots of people shop there. Including me. I donate, I buy. I donate, I buy. What can I say? The work they do, their kindness, the quality of their goods, it's all irresistible.
Whatever your needs, whether it be for physical help or for more joy in your life, highjinx is the place you want to go.

A fascinating place with fascinating people. I've never been to a place so incredibly welcoming. And I love what they do for the community.

Creating an environment to encourage garbage collection at front of store that spills all round the sidewalk. Ruining atmosphere of the neighbourhood.
Would not buy any trinket from this place its all garbage collected

I appreciate the ways Highjinx has supported our community, but they really missed the mark recently. An Indigenous family tried to buy back their grandfather’s carving, and instead of honouring that, Highjinx misled them, acting like they’d sell it back, then started a bidding war with someone else. They ignored the family’s attempts to follow up, never told them about the sale, and even blocked them when they tried to hold them accountable.
Highjinx, I’m urging you to make this right. If you truly care about community and doing the right thing, the least you can do is issue a public apology.

A nostalgic house full of local people and their second hand items. The price is fair. The arrangement of the items is a mess, so you have to be patient to find the hidden gem!

We LOVE high jinx! Beautiful humans on an incredibly generous and lovely mission - and all swirling around the best second-hand place in Ottawa. (Reminds me of one I used to love in New Orleans.) Go. Find some treasures. Donate some money - or time! And feel good about supporting such a wonderful place......
