Correctional Facilities and Treatment Facilities Committee

The primary purpose of the Correctional Facilities and Treatment Facilities (CFTF) Committee of the Greater Ottawa Area is to carry the AA message to alcoholics both behind the walls of Correctional Facilities and in Treatment Facilities. The CFTF Committee also supports the 'Bridging the Gap' program which links AA members to AA meetings after their release.

The CFTF Committee is comprised of representatives from:

District 48 – Seaway Valley North,
District 54 – Ottawa Rideau,
District 58 – Ottawa Bytown,
District 62 – Ottawa West, and
District 66 – Golden Triangle.

The committee meets once a month, the 4th Tuesday of the month at 6:30 PM at the Bronson Centre Intergroup Office. AA visitors are welcome.

The CFTF Committee supports many institutions in the Ottawa area by carrying the AA message to:

Ottawa Carleton Detention Centre
William E. Hay Centre
Brockville Jail
Secure Treatment Unit at the Brockville Mental Health Centre
Ottawa Withdrawal Management Centre (formerly known as Detox)
Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre
Alwood
Newgate 180 for men
Newgate 180 for Women
Shepherds of Good Hope
