SGW proposal deadlines 2012
Proposals from parishes for Serving God's World program funds will be collected and reviewed twice this year. The respective deadlines are April 1, 2012 and
November 1, 2012. There is no set application procedure and form, because each project will be different in scope, form and content. Nevertheless, the
hallmarks of a good proposal are clear. More information

Seeking parishes to sponsor refugees
Many Iraqi and Palestinian refugees still need sponsors. They have fled religious and political persecution and are presently in camps on the Syrian border, which makes their plight even more serious at this time, given the present political unrest in the area. They have been approved by UNHCR and Canada.
If your parish wants to help but needs advice on how to proceed, contact the Diocesan Refugee Working Group. Please contact
Rosemary Anderson or
Don Smith.

Diocesan archives to close for six months
The Diocese Archives will be closed to researchers from October 1 2011 through to the end of March 2012, due to the challenges posed by construction this autumn and winter. Construction around Christ Church Cathedral is obliging the Archives to empty its current vault and undertake construction of a larger new vault. The diocesan Archives will still issue certificates, and it will be handling requests from the Bishop's Office during these months, as it moves its collections from the old vault to the new vault. - Dr. Glenn Lockwood, Archivist and Registrar
