welcome to our coop!
Hi! We're Rough Draft Events & Goods - your not-so-ordinary little corner of Ottawa, ON. We specialize in arts, crafts, quirky events, books, bookish events, and, above all, community. We're here for the bookworms, the hobbyists, the chronic overthinkers, and anyone who's ever thought "I really need to get out of the house, do something fun, and meet new people!"
This is Pidgie! She's an Ottawa born (& bread, yes... bread) pigeon! Her hobbies include crafting, collecting sidewalk treasures, and showing up wherever people are having fun! Her natural habitat is local cafés, community event spaces, and anywhere snacks are being served. Pidgie's official role? She's our resident social butterfly... despite being technically a bird.

You matter to us
Everyone is welcome with us - always. We believe creativity thrives when every voice, identity, and story is included. Our spaces are built on respect, kindness, and community, where you can show up exactly as you are and feel at home. We proudly celebrate and support 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, BIPOC communities, people with disabilities, neurodivergent individuals, and everyone in between. Our events are designed to be accessible, affirming, and inclusive, because connection should never have barriers.
