The VOscars is the highlight of the year for the city’s volunteers and not-for-profits. The event celebrates Ottawa’s vibrant volunteer community and gives special recognition to those individuals, organizations, and businesses that have made a difference in the community. Come celebrate the helpers with us and enjoy live entertainment from OrKidstra, a full meal from Sala San Marco, and of course — the awards ceremony itself!

The 2023 VOscars Awards Gala will start at 5:00 PM on Thursday, October 26 at the Sala San Marco, 215 Preston Street, Ottawa. Winners will be announced live during the Gala.

Once your ticket purchase is complete, you will receive an individually-numbered digital ticket via email. Please bring this ticket with you to the event in order to be seated.

Dress code: at the VOscars, we’d like you to have the freedom to express your style. While we recommend formal or business attire, feel free to wear what makes you feel confident and fabulous. It’s your night to shine, so come dressed in your celebration clothes of choice!

A portion of your ticket purchase will be eligible for a tax receipt. No refunds will be issued within 10 days of the event.
