Partnerships
Tatamagouche Centre has worked with aligned partners for decades to achieve our mission. We believe in the power of broad-based community building for widening belonging and for advocacy and solidarity work. Our longest partnerships support peace and friendship, reconciliation, land and water defenders, food justice, contemplative pathways, and youth leadership. We are also exploring more partnerships related to program delivery and aligned hosted gatherings.
