The First Unitarian Congregation of Ottawa, which dates back to the late 1800s, encompasses people from many faith traditions, including those who identify as Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Hindus, Pagans, Atheists, Agnostics, Humanists, and others. 
We are a Green Sanctuary Congregation. We have made a commitment to the Earth by creating a sustainable life style for our members as individuals and as a faith community. Sustainable living is about nurturing life, building relationships, and rejecting material consumption as the sole determinant of happiness.
