Overview

Due to the global pandemic, Canadian Yearly Meeting, along with other Quaker Yearly Meetings worldwide, has been developing ways for us to gather even though we cannot gather in person.

We have scheduled daily meeting for worship, and two break periods each day. All times are shown in Eastern Time. For Pacific Time, subtract 3 hours, for Mountain time, subtract 2 hours, for Central Time, subtract 1 hour, for Atlantic Time, add 1 hour.

We will be using the video-conference technology Zoom, which many Meetings across Canada have been using to meet. To join, just click on the Zoom links below and follow any prompts that pop up. For those who would benefit from more explanation and instructions, or who need to know how (and whether) to join a Zoom meeting by telephone, have a look at our Tech Use & Support post.
