ABOUT US
The Canadian Druze Society of Ontario Ottawa Chapter represents the vibrant Druze community in the National Capital Region, including Outaouais and Ottawa. As a branch of the broader CDS network established in 2000 and known for its rich cultural programming in Ontario, our Ottawa Chapter is dedicated to celebrating Druze heritage, fostering unity, and promoting meaningful connections among Druze Canadians.
Our members are descendants of the Druze from the Levant long-established as an ethnoreligious group-shaped by the teachings of Tawḥīd (the Oneness of God) and an emphasis on community, knowledge, and spiritual solidarity.
