Canadians have a powerful opportunity (and a civic duty) to shape Canada’s environmental future by staying informed about the climate policies of our political parties, and voting in the federal election on April 28!

But I'm just one person, you say, does my vote really matter?

Yes, it matters. Now more than ever!

During this season of Lent, Alongside Hope offers a guide for daily reflections called, Living into God's Dream. This week's Lenten readings focus on Justice for all. 

"PRAY:

God of Justice, break down systems where power distorts truth.  Help us build institutions grounded in integrity, where every voice is heard, and fairness prevails. May we never settle for imperfect justice, but strive for a world where righteousness flows freely.  Amen."

Mark Your Calendar!
