Over 100 Years of FirstUThe Ottawa Unitarian Association was formed in February 1898, and our first Church was built at the corner of Elgin and Lewis Street. In 1967, our congregation moved to our current location at 30 Cleary Avenue.
Throughout the decades our commitment to our faith, our community at large, and each other has remained constant. We gather to worship, to give life the shape of justice, and to enjoy each other's company. Whatever we do, we work together to build a caring and supportive spiritual community and a just, compassionate, and sustainable world.
