What We Wish People Knew About Unitarian Universalism
Welcome
Perhaps you’re curious about a congregation that enjoys stimulating and thought-provoking discussions that incorporate the wisdom of all religions. Maybe you’re seeking a spiritual home or community of like-minded people.
Perhaps you are looking for a program for your children that will guide them to be moral, compassionate people. Or, you may just need an hour of spirituality and tranquility in the midst of a busy life. Whatever your reason, we welcome you. To be welcoming to all, we endeavor to be a scent free space.

What's Happening
Breakfast Forums
Breakfast Forums take place Sunday mornings at 8:50 am.
Jan 26 - Injustices of the Prison System Shawna Holmes of the Elizabeth Fry Society of Ottawa. Jails disproportionately contain indigenous and/or racialized people and the criminal justice system targets low-income earners, those experiencing homelessness, and people living with trauma, addiction, and mental illness. This presentation will highlight the injustices of the prison system generally, while drawing particular attention to the ways the system fails women.
