The Ottawa A.A. Alkathon is a series of continuous A.A. meetings held during the Christmas and New Year holidays. Its purpose is to provide a safe, supportive, and sober space for anyone who needs fellowship during a time of year that can be especially difficult for people in recovery. Meetings run back-to-back for extended hours, with rotating chairpersons and topics, and are open to all A.A. members and newcomers. Many groups participate by hosting individual time slots, offering fellowship, refreshments, and a place to connect when regular meetings may be closed for the holidays.

The Alkathon is built on the spirit of service, unity, and accessibility — no registration is required, and all are welcome. Visit www.alkathon.ca.
