Contact Us

Inner Journey Canada has eight committees in which volunteers serve the community. The Coordinators of the committees form The Coordinating Circle, providing leadership to Inner Journey Canada.

Please feel free to contact us with your ideas, suggestions or concerns. You are also welcome to attend our monthly meetings (please contact  a Coordinator if you plan to attend—just in case the meeting has been postponed), or to suggest agenda items.   The Co-ordinating Circle generally meets the second Monday of each month. On holiday Mondays, meetings are held the following week. You can also review minutes of past meetings.

 Meetings take place at 37 Commanche Drive, Ottawa at 7:15 p.m.

Volunteering is one of the ways you can give back to the community as well as enriching your own experience through service. If you would like to volunteer for any of the committees, please contact the team Coordinator.
