ACROSS CANADA BY CANOE

TO RAISE FUNDS FOR CHARITY

• In early April, one of our own, William Vyse, along with two friends, Nolan Aziz and Georges Kirijian, embarked on a record breaking 8,000+ km, 200+ day canoe trip across Canada. They started at Tadoussac on the St. Lawrence River at the Atlantic Ocean and, after more than 3,000 gruelling kilometres and many incredible adventures, will be crossing Manitoba and Saskatchewan in August.
• Their route now takes them as far north as Lake Athabasca and then along the Peace River to Lake Williston, BC, where they will cross the Rockies. They expect to arrive in Prince Rupert on the Pacific coast in early December.
• The objective of the trip is to raise money for True North Aid a charity which provides practical support for community-led initiatives in northern and remote indigenous communities in Canada.
• You can learn more about Will, Nolan and George’s trip and donate to True North Aid at www.canadabycanoe.com, as well as follow Canada by Canoe on Instagram for regular updates.

St. Cuthbert’s Gard’n Angels

Gather every Wednesday and Saturday from 10am – 12noon

St. Cuthbert’s gardens – vegetable, pollinator, perennial, and the ‘Green’ – provide an oasis in the heart of midtown Toronto. Did you know that all the produce grown in our vegetable garden is given to the Flemingdon Food Bank? You don’t need to be a church member or have a green thumb to join us tending to the gardens! There are many ways to contribute including through time or donations of money, gardening supplies, organic seeds and/or seedlings. Other ways to help – such as weekly runs to the Flemingdon Food Bank – are invaluable. New helpers are always welcome, so whether you have a few hours a week or can pitch in for an hour each month, please consider joining us. Or just stop by to see how things are growing!
