On Tuesday, October 31st, St. Paul’s Church in Greenfield Park, hosted its first Trunk or Treat event. Almost 1000 trick or treaters and their families stopped by the decorated cars and play games to collect candy! It was an incredible opportunity to interact with many families in the community. Parents were very thankful for the opportunity for the safe place to trick or treat and many of the neighbours were saying that we needed to do it again next year.

On October 27th, Christ Church Beaurepaire hosted a Fall Festival. Here is what they learned: When you reach the parents, you reach the kids! By publicizing our Fall Festival on the local Facebook ‘mom groups’, posters at libraries, coffeeshops, pools and other community areas, we were able to welcome hundreds of families who had a great time enjoying games, free homemade supper, candy prizes, and spending time with their community.

The Synod Office is located on the traditional and unceded territory of the Kanien’keha:ka (Mohawk), at a place called Tio’tia:ke (Montreal), a meeting place for many First Nations, including the Haudenosaunee (Six Nation Confederacy), Anishinabeg and Algonquin peoples.
We recognize and respect the Kanien’keha:ka as the traditional stewards of the land and waters of Tio’tia:ke.
Our acknowledgement stands as a promise to continue the ongoing work of recognition and reconciliation between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples.
