tarian Congregation of Ottawa. They are converting the parking lot into affordable housing for the indigenous community.
For a congregation seeking a Green Sanctuary Accreditation, Ajashki fulfills the accreditation requirements for working with traditionally marginalized communities in our area. It is one of many actions being taken by the FirstU community to recognize our responsibility for environmental and climate justice. Ajashki helps us to respond in practical, functional and caring ways, greening the campus, learning to appreciate what is already there, promoting understanding across cultures and helping to prepare youth to face personal and community challenges.
Ajashki invites everyone to come walk in the garden and delight in the bounty that nature provides.
