Rowntree is constantly trying to make our building ‘ greener’ , ie reducing our carbon footprint. Ā In 2024 we partnered with Faithful Footprints Ā of the United Church and Thomas Dyna-Build renovators of London to re-work the Brampton St. entrance. This job was completed in the fall but was more extensive than we’d planned; we found insulation missing, roof leaks and ventilation lacking from previous work which had to be fixed. So we ended up with a bigger bill than we figured: costs went from $27,600 to $43,800, some of which Faithful Footsteps covered. However, we should significantly reduce our natural gas usage and make our building greener.Ā We’ve introduced a fund-raiser to pay this off : Green (Rown)Tree and asking for your financial help. So when you donate, please apportion some to this.Ā Thank-You
The 100th anniversary of The United Church of Canada was launched with special services, locally and nationally, on June 9, 2024, and will culminate with a national service on June 8, 2025. The occasion will also be recognized at the 45th General Council, to be held in July in Calgary, Alberta.
