justice and outreach

One of our core values is justice - the work of reconciliation and peace. Through learning and working, we’re active locally, nationally, and globally.

  • “If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse, and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.”

    Archbishop Desmond Tutu

  • “There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.”

    Elie Wiesel

  • “Never forget that justice is what love looks like in public.”

    Cornel West

  • "But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!"

    the prophet Micah

Since 2006, Wellington Square has been connected with partners on the ground in Malawi, Africa.

There are many opportunities for everyone to get involved through prayer, financial support, participating in fundraising events, creating blanket squares for children, as well as going on a mission trip to Malawi.

Church members participate in a reconcilation activity

truth & reconciliation

While we don’t always know what that looks like, we know it means learning and unlearning, listening and understanding, and discovering what it means to be a friend, ally, and advocate of the indigenous peoples of Canada. Whether through book club, guest speakers, blanket exercises, or advocacy work, we invite you to join us on this important work.

In response to Jesus’ call to love our neighbours, God’s commitment to justice, and to the United Church of Canada’s role in the residential school system, we have made the commitment to honour the work of truth & reconciliation with our indigenous siblings.
