The CSCA Ottawa chapter sometimes holds events at The Laurentian Leadership Centre of Trinity Western University, but we also use local church venues at times. Our events are free and open to the public unless otherwise noted.
Coming Up
Here is a list of upcoming science-faith events. We aim to include as many details here as early as possible. Local CSCA chapter events are listed here with a teal background. Events that officially apply to multiple CSCA chapters (nearby or not) are in orange. Online ASA local chapter events, including live-streams, are in blue. As a courtesy, we also occasionally list non-CSCA events of interest in grey. Missing infomation (e.g. time, location) means that these details are still TBA. If you would like to submit something to be listed here, please contact our project development officer.
