Upcoming Programs

At November 23, 2020 – We have taken a decision to postpone programs and catered gatherings for now at Tatamagouche Centre. We are still open for self-hosted gatherings and AirBnB. Stay tuned and stay well!

Tatamagouche Centre offers 15-20 learning programs every year. Our programs are carefully curated and developed to meet the needs and interests of individuals, community organizations, and faith communities living into our mission and values of equity and justice.

We recognize that systemic and other barriers make attending programs difficult for some particularly those pushing from the margins. So we name the true cost of the program in order to allow those who are able to pay this cost. We encourage those able to pay a generous cost to donate a little extra to support others. Others can then access a reduced cost supported by grant funding.

We gratefully acknowledge funding for program bursaries from the United Church Foundation, Heritage Canada. Bursaries for youth and young adults have been provided by The James Robertson Memorial Trust Fund, the Edwards Family Foundation, the Wesley C. Smith Fund, the Sisters of St. Martha, the Davey Family Endowment Fund, the Living Spirit Fund, the Brian and Belva Piercy Fund, the Jean Moore Endowment Fund, and the United Church of Canada Foundation’s General Fund at The United Church Foundation. Bursaries for seniors spirituality program streams were awarded from The Watkins Fund for Innovative Ministries with Senior Adults at The United Church of Canada Foundation and Seeds of Hope.
