Activating the CUC Ecosystem

Date: February 28, 2026

Join the UU Ecosystem’s Project Launch of its new Website
By Valaura Jones, UU Ecosystem Project Communications Circle Leader

eNews editors’ note: The Ecosystem Project is a collaborative effort supported by UU Ministers of Canada, Religious Educators, CUC Board, and CUC Staff and took flight in early 2025. The project intends to help Canadian UUs experience ourselves as an interconnected learning community and aims to build connections, support innovation, and help us meet the needs of human and more-than-human beings in our rapidly changing world. Volunteers are made up of lay leaders and religious professionals. 

Have you ever found yourself wondering what UUs across the country are dreaming up? Or thought, “Surely someone else has tried this already…” Maybe your congregation or group experimented with something new—and you’d love a place to share what you discovered.

We’re excited to invite you into something new. A website is launching soon that will gather and celebrate the stories of exploration, curiosity, experimentation, and learning from Unitarian Universalist communities across the country. Think of it as a cozy, creative online magazine—full of ideas, reflections, and honest stories about what worked, what surprised us, and what we learned along the way.

Join us on February 28 for a fun-filled fête as we launch this welcoming new online hub, part of the Canadian UU Ecosystem Project. You’ll be among the first to explore the site, learn how to create your own account, post articles, and join thoughtful, lively conversations in the comments.

We hope you’ll come celebrate with us—and if it feels right, please share this invitation with friends and communities who might enjoy being part of the conversation. The more voices, the richer the learning.
