On February 27, a group of Eastern Mennonite High School students braved wintery conditions to plant 220 seedlings of the American chestnut tree. The planting, organized by Loren Hostetter, a volunteer with the American Chestnut Cooperator's Foundation (ACCF), was funded in part through a grant from JoinTrees, Mennonite Men's campaign to plant one million trees by the year 2030. While some individuals and organizations have funded their own tree planting initiatives as part of JoinTrees, this is the first planting funded by a grant from JoinTrees.

On Sunday, March 14, 2021, Calgary Chin Christian Church celebrated the grand opening of their new church building, as well as marking their 10 year anniversary as a congregation.

The congregation was able to purchase and renovate the building with assistance from a $40,000 grant from JoinHands, Mennonite Men's program to provide grants to help new congregations acquire their first church building. Learn more about the history of the church and their anniversary celebration at this link.
