Virtual Homes for the Holidays 2022

​Frequently Asked Questions

​​Virtual Homes for the Holidays 2022​
How long will the tours be available to watch online? 
  • The tour webpage will be available from November 18 until end of day December 10, 2022. People will be able to watch it any time during that period and as many times as they would like.
 
How will I get the info with the link to the webpage? Can I share it with others?
  • Everyone who makes a donation will be sent an email the morning of November 18th with a link to the private webpage. We will ask that they not share the link but instead encourage others to support Hospice Care Ottawa with a donation so they can also participate. 
 
Do you I need to watch the whole tour in one sitting?
  • Videos can be stopped and started. There will be separate video tours for each of the homes – not all linked together.  Please be sure to follow the instructions on how to view the videos.
 
If I’m making a donation for someone else, who’s email address should I use?
  • When making a donation, the email address used has to match your other information because that is also where the tax receipt is sent electronically. If someone wants to buy a ticket for someone else, that would be the exception to sharing the email with the link. 
 
What is the recommended donation this year?
  • We’ll leave it up to the person to donate an amount that they chose (keeping in mind that we only issue tax receipts for donations of $25 or more). 
 
I’m worried about the technology? How difficult will it be to access the tour? Do I need to download anything in advance?
  • The technology is simple – it’s like looking at a website. You do not need to download anything before hand.
 
I’ve made my donation.  What happens if I don’t get the email on November 18th?
  • Please check your junk/spam mailbox first just in case the email went into it by mistake. If it’s not there, please email info@hospicecareottawa.ca and we will resend the email with the link.

How will the Holiday PopUp Shop work this year?
  • The Holiday PopUp Shop will take place in-person at the Hellenic Event Centre (1315 Prince of Wales Drive).  Open November 25, 26 and 27 from 10 am to 4 pm, guests can browse the unique selection of gifts, decor, specialty foods and handmade items from local vendors and artisans.  A portion of all sales will benefit Hospice Care Ottawa.
