You can ask whatever questions you want.
You can meet kids who are curious, compassionate and different, just like you.
You can be welcomed as you, whatever your gender identity, sexual orientation, family structure, income or age.
You can explore ideas and figure out your own viewpoint, with help and guidance from caring, open-minded teachers and youth advisors.
Our RE program is not about providing the answers before kids can ask the questions, it’s about exploring and developing our own truths, and learning how we can create a better world for ourselves and others. Our program is offered every Sunday (unless the service is mult-generational). UUCD has firm policies on volunteer screening, supervision and care, so you can be assured your children are nurtured in a safe place. RE classes are small, so your children (and you!) will easily make friends and find support from a caring community. If you are looking for spiritual or church program where your children can find the tools and resources to expand their horizons and form their own opinions … congratulations, you just found it.

My transgendered child has flourished in this accepting religious community through affectionate encouragement to develop his own credo and to live his life freely - this is a great village to raise a child in! ..... |
Religious Exploration
Come explore a wide variety of topics, including mystery and wonder, world religions, and men and women who make our world a better place. Dive deep into peace, loyalty, kindness, honesty, gratitude, forgiveness, endurance, justice, leadership and more. Celebrate Hallowe'en, Diwali, Hanukah, Winter Solstice, Christmas, Beltane, National Indigenous People's Day and more. We'll play, design, discuss, build, explore and widen our horizons.
Our Whole Lives
Our Whole Lives (OWL) is a program about healthy sexuality offered by Unitarian Universalist Congregations across North America. We believe it is important for children, youth and adults to be well-educated, with age-appropriate information, so we can communicate openly and honesty and enjoy healthy relationships. We will be offering the OWL program, led by qualified OWL educators, during fall/winter 2024. For more information, contact our youth advisor James at [email protected].
As teenager I am at a stage that I have a lot of questions around my spirituality. UUCD is where these questions can be explored and where I am not alone in exploring those questions..... (Youth) 
Unicamp
Relax and reconnect with nature at Unicamp! A wide mix of programs, including children's camp, youth activities and adult enrichment can be found in one of Ontario's best treasures -- Unicamp. It's also a terrific place to pitch a tent or set up a trailer for a weekend, a week or the whole season. To find out why UU's love Unicamp, check out their website. |
Jr. Youth/Youth Group
Calling all youth ages 12 to 17! The UUCD Jr. Youth/Youth Group is a place where young people can truly be themselves in a supportive and non-judging environment. We're goofy, nerdy, sporty, artsy, hipster, LGTBQ, straight and interested in a wide variety of issues. We get together twice a month on Sunday mornings for our own time of discussion, sharing and fun.
We are involved in building community with other UU Youth across Canada and look forward to participating in youth gatherings throughout the year, in Ontario and beyond. For more information, contact our youth advisor James at [email protected]. I like the UUCD because I get to spend time with really nice people, out of school.I think everyone is really awesome, and I know that no matter what I believe in, I will still be welcome..... (Youth) Childcare
UUCD provides childcare on Sunday mornings. You'll enjoy the fellowship and personal enrichment of our Sunday service while your toddler plays in a safe environment with other children. Childcare and RE programs take place together in the lower level of the community centre building.
