Avalanche of plushies for One Plane Away!

Here are the gifts we received on Giving Sunday last week all destined for One Plane Away for families in Nunavut!


Thank you to all the "santas" who answered our appeal to donate "plushies" on Giving Sunday to send to the moms and babies in Nunavut who we support through our partnership with One Plane Away. As you can see, your generosity has resulted in a big warm heartload of plushies.




SAVE THE DATE - FEBRUARY 23rd, 2025.


In other exciting breaking news, we will be hosting a Blanket Exercise in Fraser Hall on Sunday afternoon, February 23rd, after the church service. If you are unfamiliar with the Blanket Exercise, it is a really impactful way of getting the big picture of the past 500+ years of the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and non-Indigenous peoples in this place we call Canada. Stay tuned for more details.

Today, we remember that history. We remember Survivors. We remember the children who never returned home. We remember families and communities who continue to live with the consequences.
