Who we are
Join us at 10am each Sunday morning at Friendship Hall (formerly Norway House) at 1110 Hillside Ave, off street parking beside Friendship Hall, and we are always on Zoom. (Please send an email to us through “Contact us” and we’ll be delighted to send you the Zoom information!)
Capital Unitarian Universalist Congregation is a vibrant lay-led UU community in Victoria, BC, Canada.
We welcome you, whoever you are, whatever religious belief, tradition, gender, race, sexual orientation or age you represent. We hope that our time together will enhance in all of us a feeling of community and love, help us maintain peace of mind, and bring wisdom and the joy of caring and sharing.
Our mission is to build an inclusive, evolving, liberal religious community which offers a safe, supportive, stimulating environment to those who feel the need for spiritual growth. Many of us enjoy discussing the moral philosophical issues of the day!
Speaker: Steve Morgan
When I first slid down the bank into the ravine and looked around, I was astonished that something so beautiful, so exotic, was hidden just a few hundred metres from my backyard. I knew the land was slated for development, and I remember saying to myself, “This place is going to break my heart.” Fifteen years later, we are still fighting to protect this landform. In the process, we are learning a great deal about the power of maps, the potential of activism, and the power and limits of local government. Join me as I tell the story of the Hidden Ravine.
Bio: Steve Morgan is a biologist, map maker, and community activist. He founded Cumberland Wetlands a decade ago to gather baseline data and advocate for the protection of wetlands and other important landforms from the effects of development in Cumberland, BC.
