Lending Library

The South Dundas Lending Library gives residents of South Dundas an opportunity to access a wide variety of sporting and recreation equipment, absolutely FREE!

Originally, with the help of The Ontario Trillium Foundation, the Municipality of South Dundas established the Sports Lending Library to eliminate barriers that may prevent individuals from participating in sports and leisure activities and to encourage residents to lead active, healthy lifestyles. In 2022, South Dundas Recreation was the successful recipient of the Canada Healthy Communities Initiative grant funded by the Government of Canada to expand the equipment in the Library. 

Available Equipment

To request the free rental of equipment, email Emily during business hours at epalmerguindon@southdundas.comAppointments for pickup and drop off are mandatory and requests must be made at least 48 hours before requested use date. The Lending Library is located on the east side of the Morrisburg Arena, beside the Community Food Share, at 28 Ottawa St.
