Meals on
Wheels
Trinity
Church had a large part to play in the formation of Meals on Wheels
when it began in 1960. It is now organized by the Red Cross
and
Royal Victoria Hospital. Trinity continues to take turn in
the
regular schedule delivering meals to shut-ins and the
elderly.
Please contact Mary Caldwell if interested in joining the team of
Trinity volunteers at (705) 728-2691.
David
Busby Street Centre
Trinity
worshippers have had a deep personal and supportive interest in the
David Busby Street Centre. The creation was a result of Mandy
Hillyard, a parishioner of Trinity, noticing the number of transients
who come to Trinity for assistance. The centre opened in 1992
with the blessing of the Incumbent, The Rev. Canon David Busby and the
wardens. The drop in centre was known to be a safe place for
people to sit, chat, relax, read or have a cup of coffee. In
1994, recently retired Canon Busby, who was known for his heart for the
poor and disadvantaged, gave permission for his name to be used when
the centre became incorporated. Tragically, Canon David died
in
an air crash on Nov. 21st 1994. In late 1995, the Centre was officially
incorporated and till this day there are representatives of Trinity’s
Outreach Committee on the Board of the Street Centre. For
more
