A collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa

The Centretown Churches Social Action Committee (CCSAC) is a collective of twenty-two churches in downtown Ottawa. CCSAC was started in 1967 by nine churches to respond to social needs in the Centretown area. CCSAC has undertaken many initiatives on behalf of people who are socially and economically disadvantaged in our community. Since 1978, CCSAC’s main project has been oversight of the Centretown Community Food Centre (CEFC). CCSAC’s mandate also includes advocacy for social justice, especially for issues relating to poverty.

Our Mission: To unite Christians of all denominations through joint participation in social projects and prayer.

What if our everyday spaces could help feed our communities? In this participatory workshop, we’ll draw on our lived experiences to explore how food is accessed in our community. We’ll use art, storytelling, and creativity to reimagine a local space and design what it could become: a place for growing, sharing, and gathering. We’ll also talk about how to turn these ideas into real changes through local planning and development processes.

Join us and City of All Women Initiative (CAWI) on May 28th from 11:00am to 1:30pm for art making, storytelling and connection!
