Annual Social Justice Day Inspires Action

Last weekend, we welcomed the Rev. Canon Maggie Helwig as keynote speaker for the Social Justice Day. Canon Maggie is a priest in the Diocese of Toronto, a homelessness advocate, and an award-winning writer.

On Friday evening, she was joined by Juno-winning musician and songwriter Maria Dunn. The following day, participants joined in-depth conversations with local leaders, allies, and stakeholders. They left with practical ideas to further the work of justice in their local communities.

Maggie Helwig’s books, Encampment: Resistance, Grace and an Unhoused Community and Instructions for the End of the World: Homilies of Comfort and Resistance, are available at Paper Birch Books.

Thank you to the Social Justice Committee for all their planning and preparation!
