Parry Sound Chapter
about us
Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North is a not-for-profit organization working toward a world where everyone has a safe, suitable, and affordable place to call home. Habitat for Humanity brings communities together to help families build strength, stability, and independence through affordable housing. By the end of 2025 we will have partnered with our communities to build over 74 homes, providing safe, affordable housing for more than 132 children and their families.
The Parry Sound Chapter began in 2010 as the Parry Sound Adopt-A-Home Committee; a group of dedicated local volunteers worked toward the completion of the first community build project on Emily Street in 2013. When territories amalgamated into Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North in 2014, Parry Sound became an official chapter. Since then, our dedicated Parry Sound chapter members have built three more homes. We have served a total of four families in the Parry Sound area. In support of this important work, we host two annual fundraising events: the Yard Sale and the Golf Tournament. This year, we are excited to announce that our new affordable housing opportunity at 19 Hillcrest Avenue in Parry Sound is almost complete. The is located in a welcoming residential neighbourhood, just steps away from local amenities—bringing safe, stable, and affordable housing one step closer for a local family. We are currently in the final stages of family selection for this opportunity.
Our 2026 Giant Yard Sale & Silent Auction raised $21,000 in support of our affordable home build project at 19 Hillcrest Avenue!
A huge thank you to our volunteers and the community!
The Parry Sound Chapter’s 2026 Giant Yard Sale took place on July 18th and 19th at Dunn’s Parry Sound Self Storage, 15 William Street, Parry Sound. This popular annual event was a huge success, raising more than $21,000 for the Chapter’s affordable build project at 19 Hillcrest Avenue! With our affordable home build project near completion, we thank everyone who donated, shopped, and volunteered to make this home a reality for a local family.
Together, we build communities.
The 2026 Habitat for Humanity Classic golf tournament at Rocky Crest generated $52,000 for our Hillcrest Avenue affordable home!
The 2026 Habitat for Humanity Classic golf tournament was held on September 14th at the stunning Rocky Crest Golf Club, nestled on the shores of Lake Joseph. This annual fundraiser is one of the area’s biggest and best events, and this year, it raised $52,000 for the Hillcrest Avenue build project!
Golfers enjoyed a day on one of the club’s beautiful 18-hole courses. Registration included a power cart, lunch, and a Marché dinner, some terrific prizes, and an exciting silent auction. This perennial favourite brings together a day of fun and the chance to make a difference in our community. Watch this space for information about the 2027 tournament.
