    What are KatieBears ?

    KatieBears are teddy bears that are given 'to anyone who looks like they could use a hug'. KatieBears are always New, Clean and Free. We are located in the Ottawa Valley region of Eastern Ontario.

    You can identify your Genuine KatieBear by the purple button, as shown here, on your KatieBear's ear.

    If you've recieved a KatieBear we'd like to hear from you - Please use our Contact form. Don't forget to check out our Events page for pictures of LOTS of happy people - maybe even you !!
