We're getting ready!

We know you’ve been eagerly awaiting your reservations!

We’re working hard to get ready to serve you again. Here’s what you can do to prepare:

  • Cancel any reservations that you no longer want.
  • Pause any reservations that you’re not ready to view. This holds your place in the queue and makes sure you don’t get a whole lot of items at once.
  • For more information check out our Managing your Account page. 
  • If you need someone to help you, give us a call at 613-549-8888.

Please don’t come to the branch until you’ve received an email or phone call that your items are ready for pickup.
