SATURDAY MAY 30th: 8AM - 1PM
(RAIN OR SHINE!)
Hello Neighbour,
As proud residents of Crown Point — and now part of the growing Crown Point Garage Sale “Plus” community — we absolutely love where we live and are passionate about creating opportunities for neighbours to come together.
We’re thrilled to announce our 9th annual Garage Sale & Fundraiser, now extending into nearby communities like Homeside. This event continues to celebrate the spirit, connection, and energy that make our neighbourhoods so special.
We can’t wait to share this experience with all of you.
We hope you’ll join in!
Warm regards,
Laura Vandette, Sarah Lawson & Lindsay Russell

Our
Story
Why the Crown Point Garage Sale Exists
The Crown Point Garage Sale began with a simple idea: bring neighbours together. As a longtime Crown Point resident, Laura Vandette wanted to create something that felt bigger than a typical garage sale — an event that encourages connection, conversation, and community pride. What started as a small neighbourhood initiative has grown into a beloved annual tradition where hundreds of homes participate, thousands of items find new life, and neighbours who might otherwise only wave from across the street get the chance to truly meet.
At its heart, the event is about more than buying and selling. It’s about simplifying our homes, supporting the Hamilton Dream Center, and celebrating the unique spirit of Crown Point. By inviting residents to donate a portion of their proceeds to local causes, the garage sale becomes a way for the neighbourhood to give back together — proving that when a community comes together, even something as simple as a garage sale can make a meaningful impact.

About the Event Organizers
When you think of real estate, we’d be honoured if you thought of us!
Laura Vandette
Laura Vandette is a REALTOR® who lives, works, and plays in Crown Point with her husband, their pooch Leo, and their wonderful Hamilton neighbours. One of her personal and professional goals is to participate in and contribute to the community they live in. In 2016, Laura decided to organize a community garage sale in Crown Point, and it has really taken off.
The idea for this event came from Ottawa’s Great Glebe Garage Sale and from the community garage sale that Hamilton’s Sherman Hub used to host when she and her husband lived in that neighbourhood in 2012. Laura can't express how much she enjoyed the sense of community during those events! Her sincere hope is to create a similar experience for their neighbourhood through the Crown Point Garage Sale and Fundraiser and the Crown Point Music Crawl.
