Canadian Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends
About: The Quaker yearly meetings are a place where people gather in community and find belonging. They are offered all over Canada and act as a place to find insight, guidance, and inspiration. Individual Quakers do not share the same beliefs but they do hold to the same testimonies, which are truth, simplicity, equality, community and peace.
Research Note: Because I was unable to interview people from any of this organization, this information is gathered from websites only and is therefore incomplete.
