Canadian Company of Pilgrims
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Canadian Company of Pilgrims, (formerly the Little Company of Pilgrims Canada), is a Canadian organization established in 1994. The group is dedicated to supplying information to the prospective pilgrim planning a modern-day pilgrimage via the route of the Way of Saint James to the city of Santiago de Compostela in Galicia in northern Spain. The Main Chapter is located in Toronto, Ontario and meets twice a year usually in the spring and fall where prospective pilgrims can obtain a credential[1] necessary for completing the pilgrimage as well as useful information and tips from a network of experienced pilgrims. Since its establishment in 1994 the organization has grown to include an additional seven chapters throughout Canada. Three chapters exist in Ontario, namely in Greater Sudbury, representing Northern Ontario, as well as in Orillia and Ottawa; two chapters are based in British Columbia, in Surrey, BC and in Victoria, BC; the other two chapters are located in Edmonton, Alberta with a regional chapter representing the Maritimes.
