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 single season 8,000+ km, 200+ day canoe trip across Canada.
- They started at Tadoussac, QC on the Gulf of St. Lawrence and, after nearly 6,000 gruelling and remote kms of stunning scenery, are now crossing Alberta and will reach B.C. in October. Their route takes them along the Peace River to Lake Williston, BC, where they will cross the Rockies. They recently changed their planned route to head south on the Nelson River from Prince George to end their journey in Vancouver, rather than Prince Rupert, to make it easier for family, friends and supporters to greet them on November 15th
- On September 1st they were interviewed by CBC Radio Saskatchewan. Click their media page to listen! https://www.canadabycanoe.com/media
- 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! Want more information about how to get involved? Please send an email to gardnangels@gmail.com
The parish Prayer Circle will be gathering on Monday, September 28th 2026 at 6 p.m. to pray for the needs of our community, country and world, and for those who have asked for our prayers. We’ll be meeting virtually via Zoom, and you’re invited to join us by phone or internet. Please contact the church office for the sign-in information, or to request a prayer stcuthbertleaside@toronto.anglican.ca
