Locations
After many meaningful years at Cedar Haven, A Rocha Ontario is stepping into a new chapter. As of September 2025, we have a one-year lease at the new “A Rocha Ontario Centre” at 1440 Westover Road, Millgrove, ON. Our centre is a short distance from Hamilton, Burlington, Guelph, Cambridge and Kitchener. This beautiful, 55-acre organic farm is full of possibilities for creation care and community. We look forward to hosting our programs from this site and in other locations in Southern Ontario.
We are also in partnership with communities at Windstone Farm (Ottawa, Beckwith Township) and in the Ottawa/Gatineau area.
Connecting people to creation through nature walks, potluck suppers and guest speakers, community gardening at the University of Ottawa, and citizen science in Gatineau Park.
Click We are grateful to work (and live) within the Halton-Hamilton Watershed of Lake Ontario, on the traditional territories of the Ho-de-no-sau-nee-ga (Haudenosaunee), Anishinabewaki ᐊᓂᔑᓈᐯᐗᑭ , Attiwonderonk, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and Mississauga First Nations, covered by the Dish with One Spoon Covenant.
