Both McDougall and Garneau have roots that go back more than 100 years. As well as their active connection to the Downtown and Garneau communities, both have been at the forefront of social justice and caring for the diverse people who are part of the community.
WELCOME – WE MEAN IT!
Both communities are explicit in extending a genuine welcome to all people, and especially those who find themselves on the margins and often excluded or not recognized: those of various genders and gender identities and sexual orientations, those of minority ethnicity, colour, culture or economic status, those of varying abilities, and those who may or may not be religiously connected – those firm in their faith, or those seeking meaning and depth in life without having any particular religious alignment.
You don’t need to know when to stand or sit – it’s all good!
Whoever you are, wherever you may be in your faith journey, you are welcome!
