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. You can also write in to ‘Ask A Quaker A Question.’
• 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 their 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.)
