Vision Aiders Moment - For the Love of Creation
A Faith-In-Action Campaign Feb 17 to Oct 4 2021
For the Love of Creation is a faith-based initiative for climate justice.
“We come together as a people of faith in hopes of making a meaningful contribution in the next decade towards a sustainable future for all life on the planet.”
“While actions by government, industries and other large emitters will have the most impact in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, personal and household actions are also very important.
These actions signal to the leaders and the market that we are ready to adopt and advocate for a low carbon lifestyle and will favour political leaders and products in the economy that align with our priorities.”
You can find ideas for personal action at:
https://fortheloveofcreation.ca/advocacy/personal-action-pledge/
The page includes prepared letters to federal ministers (read, think, pray, sign, press send)
Letter A: Reduce Emissions & Invest in Transition
Letter B: Honour Indigenous Rights
Letter C: Support Adaptation & Mitigation
Thank you for taking action For the Love of Creation!

Community Hub Update - March 17, 2021
It's been a few weeks since we've had a peak inside the Hub building.
Progress on the apartment side includes insulation and installation of shower/bathtub fixtures.
The second story concrete floor has been poured on the Hub side and the walls are framed. The main stairway is built and the elevator lift shaft is framed, ready for installation.
Staging fills the entire multi-purpose room to enable the installation of ductwork and the steel beams and framing for the room dividers above the ceiling.
Fun fact: This 'measuring stick', used by the construction crew, looks a lot like a cross! A sign, perhaps, a Christian faith community will make a home here?
