Lawrence Park Community Church is committed to being a radically inclusive and welcoming congregation. We preach and live a Good News that is contemporary and challenging. Whatever age you may be, whatever stage of exploring faith you may be at, you will find support, encouragement and spiritual stimulation in our congregation. Theologically, our approach to the Christian faith is progressive and contemporary. We worship a God who is more 'within' than 'beyond'. We proclaim Jesus as "The Way" to life -- but we do not accept the notion of Jesus as "the only way". We understand ourselves to be a part of Canada's faith mosaic -- even as we affirm the beauty and dignity of other parts of that mosaic as well. We have recently complted a major renovation project on our building. Our new building is environmentally friendly, fully accessible, and welcoming for people of all ages and stages of life. It’s an exciting time in our congregation. We hope you'll share that time with us.

Founded in 1980, the Écomusée du fier monde works to emphasize the history and heritage of the Centre-Sud district in Montreal, a microcosm of the Industrial Revolution in Quebec, Canada, and North America at large in the second half of the 19th century. Since its creation, the Écomusée has developed a museum practice based on outreach education and the setting up of participative projects. It fulfils its mandate in close collaboration with the populace of the district, as well as with its institutions and cultural and community organizations. It is also active during reflections and discussions that concern the present and future development of the Centre-Sud. It has earned numerous awards of excellence or mentions from organizations specializing in museology and heritage: Société des musées québécois, Canadian Museums Association, Les Arts et la Ville, Association québécoise d’interprétation du patrimoine, Montréal Architectural Heritage Campaign, Sauvons Montréal, etc.

We believe that the family more than any other institution shapes the personality and character of every person. We believe that the nature of life in society is, in a large part, determined by the quality of family life. We are committed to assisting individuals and family units to improve their functioning at home, at work and in the community. As an organization, we meet this philosophy by providing four distinct programming areas: Home Services, Immigrant Services, COE (counseling, outreach, education), and our Dacapo program (people with developmental disabilities). Programs include home care, settlement, interpretation, employment, counseling, education, culture, and recreation opportunities for our clients.

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada was established in 1955 to fund Canadian researchers who focus on leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, and Hodgkin's disease. Over the years we have funded hundreds of prominent researchers who have made significant progress in developing better, less invasive treatments in their quest to find permanent cures. Research has dramatically increased the survival rates of people stricken with blood-related cancers. Yet leukemia remains the number one disease-killer of children under 19 and alarmingly the incidence of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in adults has doubled since 1973. Our mission to find better treatments and ultimately cures, continues.
