Fundraising Success!! On Sunday, march 11th 2018 we (St. Stephen's Church, Lachine) held our PWRDF Fundraising lunch of soup and sandwiches. Our Rector's  warden made two kinds of soup: chicken noodle and Scotch broth. Others made sandwiches, cookies, and cake. We raised $376 for the Pikangikum Water Project which we'll mail to Toronto this week. 23 people participated. Submitted by Shirley Smith, St Stephen's Anglican Church, Lachine

PWRDF supports people-centred development that improves the quality of daily life for vulnerable populations, promotes self-reliance, and addresses root causes of poverty and injustice.

Our work is bound together in three strategic themes:

We serve as an educational resource to parishes by holding monthly information meetings (see below), publishing a quarterly newsletter and assisting parish representatives in educating their parishes about PWRDF. Have questions or interested in becoming involved? Write the Chairperson, Ann Cumyn at email@example.com or Roslyn Macgregor firstname.lastname@example.org. The committee is looking for new members to join the team.

Recent Events: Water Walk 2017 (scroll down for photos from the event)

Each year, we focus on a project for which we raise both awareness – and funds! This year, we decided to concentrate our efforts on Just Generation’s initiative Right to Water. (Just Generation is the youth wing of PWRDF - http://www.justgeneration.ca) In backing this youth enterprise we are honouring the 2020 Vision Plan, the Marks of Mission and are positioning ourselves in “right relationship” with the work of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.

Here are some images from the Water Walk. Thanks to Janet Best for capturing these photos! Our parishes have been busy educating and fundraising on behalf of Pikangikum. If you would like to get involved, here are some helpful links / additional information.

Contact Ann Cumyn or Ros Macgregor if you would like to learn more
