Special announcement
In light of the current situation and the financial stress this pandemic has caused, we are waiving the annual fees for 2021. This also applies to any new Christian communities that would like to register to the Network. New registrations can use this link: https://greenchurches.ca/register/

Normally, we ask for an annual contribution of $100.  If ever the annual fee becomes prohibitive, we can always make arrangements. We are a non-profit charity organisation, and this small contribution helps us pay the bills. If you would like to support us with a donation, you can use the following link: https://greenchurches.ca/about-us/donate/
 
We would like to welcome our newest registered Christian communities!
It is a great pleasure to partner, work together, and move forward towards our common mission of Creation Care!To learn more about who they are and what they are doing, see their pages on our website:

"A few accomplishments achieved at All Saints Parish are:

The installation in 2012 of 44 solar panels on the roof of the Parish Hall which provides power to the Grid through a 20 year government  contract and provides substantial income to the church.

The building and maintenance of five Community garden plots located on adjoining Rectory property which provide produce and crops to support the 150 monthly Takeout Friendship Dinners, our weekly Coffee and Conversation Outreach group (CO3) and Community Food Banks."
