Howe Sound Rehabilitation Services Society first opened its doors in 1988 in North Vancouver with the establishment of Windsong House, a residential home that had accommodations for three people with developmental disabilities. Tonnar and members of Howe Sound were successful because they strongly encouraged community integration, support and awareness. Through close contact and the building of relationships within the community Howe Sound was effective in educating people, building trust and respect for the organization, its members and clients. Their hard work and dedication paid off and for 18years the residents of Windsong House have been respected citizens of the community. Today Howe Sound provides a range of residential and day program services to over 150 adults, youth and children with acquired brain injuries, developmental, physical, and medical health care needs.

ILM publishes the award-winning Indian Life newspaper. It is our desire to share the gospel with all Native North Americans that they might find hope, healing and honour through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. ILM has published a number of books, including The Grieving Indian, Whiteman's Gospel, The Conquering Indian and more. Our monthly budget is $20,000. ILM invites sponsors for our Tychicus Project, which allows us to send bulk copies of our newspaper to chaplains of prisons throughout North America. An inmate recently wrote saying: “I am learning about the Jesus way and I hope the publication Indian Life can help me…I don’t want my spirit to also be locked away…I had an old cellie who let me thumb through a copy of Indian Life…never knew there was this kind of stuff…” Would you be willing to help us continue this vital ministry?
