It's a fun-sounding name a group of friends came up with to find a name for a group of like-minded individuals who meet regularly to share and discuss issues which are vital to us all.

The "Animal Awareness" part of the name stems from the belief that the utter cruelty we inflict on helpless creatures is detrimental to EVERY living being on this planet, including Ourselves !

The "Recreation" part of the name denotes the "fun" aspect of AAARG: Although we don't take issues such as The Environment, Animal Cruelty, Veganism and Sustainability lightly, we ARE a group of friends ,and newcomers who become friends, and in our shared-interest we find time for laughter and positive discussion.
It's NOT all doom and gloom. AAARG is about sharing ideas and thoughts and to encourage others to improve life for every animal on Earth.

Many of our group are Christians and believe God wants us to care for this world and everything on it but if you are not a Christian, you are still most welcome to join us as we share our mutual concern for all life and our health.

Our aim is to inspire people to have love and compassion for ALL of God's creation.

•  AAARG is against ALL Animal Cruelty ..... and promotes Vegan choices

•  We aim to help people Learn to be good stewards of the Earth

•  We believe in educating people to make wise choices for the benefit of our health, the animals and ultimately,
   our beautiful planet that God has entrusted to our care. 

AAARG meets approximately every 6 weeks in a private home the West-End of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
The meetings are open to anyone with a genuine interest and concern for the environment, animal welfare,
energy conservation and sustainability, pollution, a healthy diet, human compassion and all related issues.

We are fortunate to have had many fascinating and thought-provoking guest speakers and each session we try to present and discuss varied topics as well as to have a time of fun and getting to know each other.

Typically we meet at 3pm, grab a drink and watch an interesting movie on the environment, animal welfare, sustainability or other related things. After the movie we all enjoy an awesome Vegan pot-luck meal and good times together.  We have a short time of Contemporary Christian Music and although not everyone at AAARG is a Christian we find they generally enjoy the music which often sets the mood for the Guest Speaker who then has the rest of the evening for their presentation.

Our guest speakers have been excellent and we are always on the lookout for new and interesting presenters and topics. The speakers usually have a multimedia presentation and bring things to show us. We thank all of them who have given their time and energy to share their passion and skills with us
