Last week, I asked to speak with you about gifts to CHIMP for a total of $120 million: Ø $ 34.4 million from Almoner Foundation (2011-2019) Ø $ 33.8 million from Foundation For Public Good (2017-2019) Ø $ 12.1 million from the Association for the Advancement of Scholarship (2012-2018) Ø $ 10.5 million from Eden Glen Foundation (2017) Ø $ 10.1 million from Timothy Foundation (2012-2017) Ø $ 7.0 million from Mighty Oaks Foundation (2014) Ø $ 4.0 million from Headwaters Foundation (2011) Ø $ 3.7 million from Homestead on the Hill Foundation (2018) Ø $ 3.4 million from Global Charity Fund (2014) Ø $ 1.0 million from Theanon Foundation (2011-2014) $ 120 million TOTAL On the basis of my research, it is clear to me that these gifts for $120 million stem from tax-receipted donations reported by charities involved with funds for starting Quest University.

  • Council of the North Prayer Cycle
    Council of the North Prayer Cycle The Council of the North began in 1970 when the National Executive Council of the General Synod of the Anglican Church of Canada appointed a taskforce to consider the challenges and opportunities for ministry in the northern parts of Canada. The following year this taskforce was replaced with the Primate’s Task- force on the Church in the North. In 1973 this taskforce became the Primate’s Council on the North. By 1976 this body had evolved into the present Council of the North. The Council of the North is made up of all bishops of the assisted diocese. They administer the General Synod’s grants for northern mission. The council meets twice a year to consider the needs of the mission and ministry of the Church in the north.

    nm 10 fa REV J. DOUGLAS BORTHWICK, LL.D. History of the Diocese of Hflontreal 1850-1910 BY ev. J. DOUGLAS BORTHWICK LL.D., F.C.C.S. Author of twenty-four volumes on ike History, Geography and Biography of Canada and General Literature Printed and Published by JOHN LOVELL & SON, LIMITED MONTREAL 1910. CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL, MONTREAL. DEDICATION MY LORD It gives me much pleasure to dedicate this important work, "The History of the Diocese of Montreal," to your Lordship. Your election and elevation to the highest office of the Church in this Diocese, is a proof of the estimation in which your Lordship is held by both your Clergy and Laity. May an even greater prosperity attend your oversight of the spiritual and temporal affairs of the Diocese under your guidance, and that it will advance as rapidly in the future as it has done in the past, is my earnest prayer. Praying that your Lordship may long be spared to be our Bishop, I remain Your sincere Presbyter, J. DOUGLAS BORTHWICK, LL.D. PREFACE IN the Jubilee year of the Diocese of Montreal, A.D. 1900, I was requested by several prominent persons, both Clerical and Lay, to write an historical sketch of the Diocese for the past 50 years. What I did write then was printed in one or two of the Montreal newspapers. In this Jubilee Year, 1909, of The Synod of Montreal, which was founded and opened on the /th day of June, 1859, I was again asked to extend and elaborate what I had then written, and thus make it a volume which could be kept as a "Vade Mecum" and Book of Reference for succeeding generations.
