What We Do
Preserving & Promoting The Sanctity of The Lord's Day
For the Sanctity of His Day and Extension of His Kingdom previous generations of Canadians kept the first day of the week as the Lord's Day. Shortly after the Lord’s Day Act was over-turned by the Canadian Supreme Court in 1985, the Canadian Lord’s Day Association was founded for the purpose of “preserving the sanctity of the Lord’s Day and for the extension of His kingdom”. CLDA was organized as an ongoing Christian witness to the Lord's Day in Canada. We also strive to bring awareness in and around our communities for the sanctifying of the Lord’s Day, to reach out in ways of advertising and educating others of the importance of the Lord’s Day.
Prison Ministry
In the Lord’s wonderful providence, the CLDA is involved in spreading God’s Word to inmates in prisons all over Canada. In 1996 our prisons began requesting increasing numbers of the Daily Diary, a small pocket calendar with a special focus of the Lord's Day and a scripture verse for each day of the week. In 2025 the CLDA began delivering in-person Bible Studies to inmates in Ontario. While many Canadians seem disinterested to learn about what God's Word has to say, it has been most encouraging that the Lord has opened for us this door of outreach in our correctional institutions.
Public Engagement
We encourage churches, schools, youth groups or any other groups who share an interest in the work of the CLDA to reach out and arrange a speaking event. We would be glad to share more about the work and purpose of the CLDA.
