The movement to create a Guaranteed Basic Income for all Canadians draws together all the concerns in which we have been involved as a parish. Research shows that this initiative would have a direct and very significant impact on the lives of the homeless, and for indigenous peoples, and those recently released from prison, and refugees, and those who have lost their jobs during the pandemic and are anxious to seek re-training.

When we ask ourselves what we can do as individuals and as a parish to have the greatest impact, here is a place to begin.
