There is a good yahoo group for freecycle and you can ask for what you want or offer what you have and it is all done for free. That would be a good place to ask for what you are in need of.

FullCirclesOttawa@ya hoogroups.ca

You would need to go to yahoo.ca, create a profile (sign up with an email address) and then go to groups to search for what you want. Type in fullcirclesottawa to find the group. There are also some great childcare groups and well a group of pretty much anything you could want to join.
