RED LEAF LODGE
A Place for Connection
Red Leaf Lodge is a place where people come together. Located in McNab/Braeside, just outside Arnprior, the Lodge is home to programs, gatherings, celebrations, meetings, and countless everyday moments that bring people into relationship.
We created Red Leaf Lodge because we believe places matter. The spaces we share can help people feel welcome. They can bring together people whose paths might not otherwise cross. They can make room for friendship, creativity, learning, celebration, and connection. That's what we hope Red Leaf Lodge will continue to become.
At the Heart of L’Arche
Red Leaf Lodge is an important gathering place for the life of L’Arche Arnprior. Throughout the week, it is home to activities through Pines Social Club and other gatherings. We come together here to celebrate milestones, welcome people, share meals, learn, create, meet, and simply enjoy being together. But from the beginning, our hope for Red Leaf Lodge has reached beyond L’Arche. We want it to be a place where our community and the wider community meet.
A Place for the Wider Community
The doors of Red Leaf Lodge are open to our neighbours. Community organizations, businesses, clubs, and groups are invited to use the Lodge for meetings, workshops, training days, retreats, and other gatherings.
Whether you’re planning a team meeting, bringing people together for a workshop, celebrating something important, or simply looking for a welcoming place to gather, we’d love for you to consider Red Leaf Lodge. Because inclusion doesn’t only happen within L’Arche. It happens when we share our spaces, our experiences, and our lives with one another.

Your Gathering Makes a Difference
When you choose Red Leaf Lodge, you're doing more than booking a place to meet. Revenue generated through community use of the Lodge helps us care for this special property and contributes to the long-term sustainability of L’Arche Arnprior.
Your meeting, workshop, retreat, or celebration becomes one small part of something bigger: creating places where people with and without intellectual disabilities can share their gifts, build relationships, and participate fully.
Come Gather With Us
Red Leaf Lodge is still becoming. As more people walk through its doors, new possibilities continue to emerge for how this place can serve L’Arche Arnprior and the wider Ottawa Valley. We hope it will be a place where people meet. Where ideas grow. Where milestones are celebrated. Where unexpected friendships begin. And where everyone who arrives knows there is a place for them.
Welcome to Red Leaf Lodge.
