Creative Connections

An integral part of AJA 50+, Creative Connections is an exciting, unique, weekly Jewish social and recreational program. It offers a social and communal atmosphere to make new friendships and maintain personal connections with others through shared interests and learning.

Join us as we connect creatively

Creative Connections meets in-person programming each Tuesday at the JCC. Many of the program ideas are generated from the members themselves and on occasion, members are encouraged to take the lead on programs in areas of their interest or expertise.

Creative Connections is the only day out program in Ottawa with consistent Jewish content; Jewish holidays are celebrated, Jewish learning takes place with invited scholars as presenters, and Jewish film and music are integral parts of the programming. Creative Connections is not a drop-in program; registration is required.

Participants need to be able to provide their own self-care.
