Sustainability

Choosing green as one way in which we can fulfill our mandate as stewards of God’s creation:

  • The congregation purchases electricity from Bull Frog Power.
  • The church is applying to the Ontario government’s Microfit program, to become a generator of solar electricity by installing solar panels on the church roof.
  • We use fair trade, coffee, sugar, and chocolate. Occasionally, we have a fair trade sales table after the service.
  • We recycle, and discourage the use of bottled water.
  • The congregation received a Green Church award from the Diocese of Ottawa in 2001.
