History:

Our final GNRA 20th Annual Neighbourhood Garage Sale was held on Saturday, June 15, 2019.

For the past 20 years, we have hosted a neighbourhood wide garage sale in June, usually the Saturday before Father's Day to encourage community involvement and to help neighbours, meet neighbours. 

The Saturday event was held from 9 am to 3 pm, Rain or Shine. Any resident in Glenbrooke North (Tenth Avenue to Sixth Avenue and Sixth Street to McBride Boulevard) could hold a garage sale on this day and benefit from the extra advertising in the NW Record Newspaper, Craigslist, and Kijiji as well as on our Facebook page. Realtor Derrick Thornhill installed large signs around the neighbourhood and covered the cost of the advertising, photocopying of the flyers, and map which was handed out to shoppers on the garage sale day. Each year we supported a local cause and for the past years, we have chosen Monarch Place, New Westminster's transition home for women and children fleeing violence. Donations were entirely optional and a Glenbrooke North representative would go around the neighbourhood asking for donations at the end of the day. Tax receipts were issued for donations of $20 or more.
