Stirling Avenue Mennonite Church formed the first Canadian Mennonite peace centre lodged in a congregation in 1987. The centre was supported by the Peace and Justice Working Group, formed in the early 1980s. The group's activities included participation in public protests and actions for peace and justice, and education of the congregation around issues of peace and justice.
