Quaker Groups in Canada
You are welcome in a Quaker Meeting for Worship! We welcome people from diverse backgrounds – whether you are curious to visit just once or searching for your spiritual home.
Tips for Newcomers:
- If you have questions about what to expect, check out ‘Your First Quaker Meeting in Six Steps’ from Montreal Quaker Meeting. Also, don’t hesitate to contact your local Quaker meeting before you visit – there is contact info on each meeting’s page, linked below.
- When looking through the listings below, please note that a “Monthly Meeting” is a local group of Quakers – roughly analogous to a church or other local spiritual community that meet together regularly. As a self-governing and self-administered body, they will hold monthly business meetings (thus the name), but usually meet weekly for worship.
- A ‘Worship Group’ is a small group that meets for Quaker worship, but that does not hold its own business meetings. They are usually affiliated with a nearby, larger Monthly Meeting that they will join to conduct business.
- There are also less frequent regional and national gatherings with names like Western Half-Yearly Meeting and Canadian Yearly Meeting. (Welcome to the world of Quaker-specific language! We promise it’s a friendly place to explore.)
We currently meet at 10:30am in the Library of the Acadia University Chapel in Wolfville each Sunday morning. Go through the sanctuary and exit it by the door in the back on the right. Turn right and go through another door, and the Library is on your left. Remote attendance is also available by Zoom.
Note that on fourth Sundays, we start at 10:15am with a “Forum” where one of us presents on an issue of concern, or shares our spiritual journey, followed by questions and comments. This ends at 10:50 and we take a brief break before holding Meeting for Worship from 11am to noon, followed by a time to share and get to know one another.
Subscribe to our calendar or follow our Facebook page, or email for Zoom link and more information.
