In total, nine families invited sponsors, volunteers and repre - sentatives from Habitat GTA to their homes for a dedication and key ceremony. The families met their sponsor organizations and were presented with the keys to their new homes, as drivers on Brimley Road honked in support of the event. The diocese made a $100,000 gift to Habitat GTA last January to support the building of afford - able housing in the Brimley Road and Lawrence Avenue area of Toronto. The gift was a tithe from the diocese’s Ministry Allocation Fund and is the largest single do - nation from a religious organiza - tion in Habitat GTA’s history.

For Marianne Romain and her PHOTOS BY MICHAEL HUDSON three children, who have moved into the diocese-sponsored house, the day marked a moment of transformation in their lives. “I have so much to say. I still can’t believe it,” she said. Ms. Romain immigrated to Canada from Dominica, an island nation in the Caribbean, in 1989.

  • 'A Step Along the Path'
    ‘A Step along the Path’ On Friday, August 6, 1993 at the National Native Convocation in Minaki, Ontario, Archbishop Michael Peers offered an apology to all the survivors of the Indian residential schools. Shaped by his listening to their stories, and his devotion to healing and reconciliation, he said, “I want to take one step along that path here and now.” And with that he said, “I accept and I confess before God and you, our failures in the residential schools. We failed you. We failed ourselves. We failed God. “I am sorry, more than I can say, that we were part of a system which took you and your children from home and family. “I am sorry, more than I can say, that we tried to remake you in our image, taking from you your language and the signs of your identity. “I am sorry, more than I can say, that in our schools so many were abused physically, sexually, culturally and emotionally. “On behalf of the Anglican Church of Canada, I present our apology.” Not only did Michael say, “I am sorry,” he also said, “I know how often you have heard words which have been empty because they have not been accompanied by actions. I pledge to you my best efforts, and the efforts of our church at the national level, to walk with you along the path of God’s healing.” That was twenty years ago—to this very day. Then and there the apology was offered—quietly and prayerfully. The next day Vi Smith, speaking on behalf of the elders and participants, said, “It was offered from the heart with sincerity, sensitivity, compassion and humility..
