Environmental Action

Do you want to help build a sustainable world?  The First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa has a Green Sanctuary Program to help our members live “environmental values.”

Green Sanctuary logoOur Environmental Working Group (EWG) educates about and lobbies on environmental issues.  We provide fact sheets, collect petitions to government, sell organic items during the Hospitality Hour, and lobby for a City of Ottawa pesticide bylaw. [link to .pdf brochure]

EWG also runs the Adopt-a-Riverbank Project. Our congregation has “adopted” three kilometres of the Ottawa riverbank from Woodroffe to Dominion.  Currently, an informal group of volunteers takes on a spring clean-up of the shoreline.
