Our Celebrants

We have a number of celebrants throughout the Province of Ontario, including Toronto/Western Ontario, Ottawa and Eastern Ontario, and Northern Ontario.

All our celebrants are pastors with All Seasons Church of Canada. However many do not serve congregations in the traditional sense. That is because, like a large number of pastors in all church denominations, many of our ministers would rather express their ministry as family counsellors, teachers, professors, social workers, or in other secular employment. When called upon they still do some pastoral work like Baptisms or weddings. For the non religious we also have civil celebrants who do the naming ceremonies.
