Welcome to Canada! #RefugeesWelcome
After more than one year of waiting, our church-sponsored family of mom and dad, plus their three delightful young sons have finally arrived.
They are settling well into their apartment in Thorncliffe Park. The boys have started school. They are in three different classes and enjoying making friends and learning.
The parents are busy setting up their home and getting all their federal and provincial documents.
It is an absolute gift to see the smiles on the children’s faces as they play with their toys, witness Mom say joyfully, with outstretched arms, “ My kitchen!” and hear Dad say “It feels like a dream.”
Once they get more settled, they look forward to meeting and thanking the community and Leaside United Church families.
Thank you to all who have supported them on their journey to safety and opportunity in Canada.

Roots & Shoots Recap
On Sunday January 15th, 2017 sponsored by the Presteign-Woodbine United Church Transition Team, we all gathered after the service for a Potluck Lunch and Heritage Event. There was lots of food for the over 70 people who attended. It was a special time for us to begin getting to know one another. We learned about the strengths we bring from our past and discovered how we’ll build a future together. Thank you to everyone who came and brought delicious food to share and a special thank you to Rev. Rose Ann Vita and the team for organizing this great event.
