The Granny Squares for Warmth (GSFW) group was created in November 2020 as a Barrhaven-based group with a mission to create and donate hand-made blankets in the Ottawa area. ​

In addition to blankets, members have also made and donated shawls, hats, and baby wear. ​

Join us to crochet and join granny squares, to share and learn crochet stitches and techniques and to build a sense of community by making blankets for those in need. ​
Everyone is welcome!

Practice your English conversation skills in a low-pressure, friendly environment. All levels are welcome. 

Join us for a discussion of cookbooks and recipes. Try a recipe from each month’s cookbook selection and tell us what you think! ​
All are welcome.
