Welcome to the web site of Red Maple Grove, a community of ADF druids dwelling in the area of Ottawa, Ontario and Gatineau, Quebec. Red Maple Grove has been offering open, public rituals to the Pagan community since Midsummer 1999. As a member grove of Ár nDraoícht Féin, North America’s largest Druid organization, we are committed to presenting Indo-European traditional spirituality to those living in the 21st Century. Our main traditions are Celtic and Norse, and those of other traditions are welcome to join us. Recently, including on September 29th for one of our Autumn Equinox rituals, we have also held some rituals in Slavic style. We have a goal of providing open rituals, etc. to the Pagan community of Canada’s National Capital area. We are now arranging our Imbolc 2026 rituals. We are holding one on Sunday, Feb 1st at 2 pm at Minto Park (Elgin and Lewis). And another at Dundonald Park (Somerset and Bay)on Sunday February 8th at 2 pm. Can’t come to these. You are welcome to suggest other places and times (from now until Feb 8th) resonating better with your availability. And you are welcome to join us in spirit, where and when you are able. Please, if you send a request to join our Facebook group, let us know you’re for real. Send me a message introducing yourself, saying that you really are interested in druid/pagan matters and are sending a request to join the Red Maple Grove Facebook group. Red Maple Grove also is on Discord, under that same name Red Maple Grove. Thanks.

By the way, if you are an ADF member living anywhere across Canada lacking an ADF grove, you might wish to consider starting one up. It only takes one person to plant that initial seed. Just ask ADF how to get that going. And, if you are not an ADF member, you’re welcome to check out ADF and see whether or not you resonate. Ditto wherever you live in the world actually. .

We have also been holding in person informal druid conversations. We invite people interested in our conversations, and study sessions in 2026 to suggest when and where best matches your availability.

We have done various activities to benefit the wider community, have conducted public discussions on druid and pagan themes, and have run classes teaching the ADF Dedicant’s Program (introductory druid study).

We have four Facebook pages in English: our main Red Maple Grove one for anyone interested in following us, one specifically for our members, one for text conversations and one for discussing health and healing. We also have our French language Facebook page, Bosquet des Erables Rouges. And we have a Discord server with the same name, Red Maple Grove. If you’re interested, you are very welcome to come and check us out. You are welcome to suggest other social media platforms you feel we should join.

Our bylaws are here.
