A huge shout out to Rev. Ruth and the youth for a lively and entertaining P.I.E. day service and a big thank you to all who donated a pie.

It was a true testament to our "Can Do" attitude that we had 10 pies donated! And thanks to the amazing generosity of those who donated, we raised over $350 to donate to Rainbow Health Ontario. Rainbow Health Ontario works to ensure 2SLGBTQ+ communities receive equitable, affirming health care across Ontario.

This donation is in honour of this year's Transgender Day of Visibility (TDOV), which we celebrate on March 31st. Check out the websites to learn more.
