During the pandemic, many Quaker meetings have gone online. Some have started holding in-person meetings again, based on local guidelines and with extra precautions in place.

Here is a provisional list, which will be updated as things change:

Some resources on bringing Quaker meetings online:

• New England Yearly Meeting’s Tips and Tools for Online Worship and Gatherings
• Woodbrooke College’s Online Worship Advice, which includes several resources and detailed instructions on using Zoom for Quaker worship in their Quaker’s guide to online worship and meetings (PDF)
• Pendle Hill’s Hybrid Worship Experiment explains how they have set up worship to include both in person and online worshipers.

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.

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 – who hold monthly business meetings, 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. (Welcome to the world of Quaker-specific language! We promise it’s a friendly place to explore.)
