  At the Prairie Centre for Ecumenism, we seek to call all Christian churches, regardless of denomination, to the goal of visible reconciliation and unity for the world's sake, expressed in one faith and one eucharistic fellowship in Christ." The Prairie Centre for Ecumenism has been in operation since 1984. Our ministry involves the promotion of inter-church dialogue, understanding and co-operation. In addition, the Centre is also actively involved in inter-religious dialogue.

• Earthcare Connections
  "Earthcare Connections is a charity dedicated to educating people about healthy and environmentally friendly choices. Being attentive to the needs of the environment and taking appropriate actions to minimize harmful effects is the course Earthcare Connections is taking. When people work together, any goal can be accomplished. Together, we must reflect upon our actions, and not take for granted the creation that surrounds us. There must be balance. As creation provides for us the necessities for life, we must give back to creation by being responsible. Three components comprise the mandate of Earthcare Connections. You can learn about the Genesis Land Conservancy, Earthcare Balloon and The Learning Centre in their respective sections. Although they each have their own focus, each project illustrates the purpose of Earthcare Connections. Learn more about Earthcare Connections by reading about Our Story and Guiding Principles and looking at Communications." [from the website]
