Finding a Spiritual Community in Peterborough, Lindsay or On Campus

The Diversity & Inclusion Office is here to welcome you to and help you connect with local community, including faith/spiritual groups. Several groups have clubs and activities on campus, including Catholic, Indigenous, Muslim and Sikh student associations or meeting spaces, and individuals can access the Quiet Reflection Rooms. A directory of local faith/spirituality groups is below. If you need any assistance connecting with a group, contact diversity@flemingcollege.ca

Prayer mats and religious texts are available, as well as ablution stations (washing sinks, Peterborough campus only). Students are asked to respect others using the space and remove their footwear upon entering.
