Belong Ottawa offers safe spaces that connect people and create community.
Through our drop-in programs (Centre 454, The Well, St Luke’s Table), we address basic needs that foster dignity, wellness, and hope for members of our community.

This past Friday at Centre 454, we served 335 barbeque lunches to celebrate sunshine and warmer days. 🍔☀
While the number of meals served is astounding, it is the laughter, music, and sense of togetherness that truly stand out. These gatherings remind us Centre 454 helps create an inclusive community where people feel seen, welcomed, and connected.
Thank you to our incredible volunteers and staff members who make days like this possible! 💛

From volunteering in the kitchen during The Well’s early days to returning today for connection and conversation, Dianne has always been part of Belong Ottawa.

Belong Ottawa stands with Indigenous communities in Ottawa and across this land to honour the lives of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women, Girls, and Two‑Spirit people.
The red dresses and clothing we see today are a powerful reminder of those who are missing, those whose lives were taken, and the ongoing responsibility we all share to create safety, dignity, and belonging for Indigenous people in our city.
At Belong Ottawa, our commitment to inclusive, welcoming spaces means listening, learning, and standing against violence and marginalization in all its forms. Today, we reflect, remember, and renew our responsibility to care for one another in community.
