Used dog kennels in Ottawa typically sell for C$57 to C$340 (about $40 to $240). An outdoor kennel is judged on whether it is genuinely weatherproof, and the two details that prove it are a raised floor and a felted, overhanging roof.
Selling a dog kennel in Ottawa
Public service postings and academic terms both move people on predictable schedules. Winter sports equipment appears in spring and disappears by late autumn, which is a reliable pattern to buy against.
The city is straightforward to drive with plenty of parking, though the river divides the region and crossing it adds real time. Winter is long enough here to be a genuine planning constraint on anything bulky.
On anything stored in an unheated garage, check seals, batteries and glue joints. Winters here are long enough that a couple of seasons of storage does real damage.
Ottawa, in Ontario, has around 1 million people, which means a deep enough buyer pool that most things sell without having to travel far to hand them over. Toronto, Brampton and Hamilton are close enough that a buyer there may well make the trip for the right thing.
Handing it over in Ottawa
Two practical things shape a Canadian sale. Interprovincial shipping costs can exceed the value of a mid-priced item, which is why so much trade here is collection-only. And winter genuinely interrupts handovers in much of the country, so agree a window rather than a fixed day between December and March.

Answer with the evidence — roof felt condition, overhang, raised floor, whether it has been treated. A general claim of weatherproof means little on its own.
