For more than 65 years, St. George’s Anglican Church has celebrated Christmas with a special carol service.
For many generations of families in the parish and across the city, attending the service modelled after the service of Lessons and Carols begun at Truro Cathedral in the United Kingdom in 1880 has been a cherished Christmas tradition. But this year that isn’t possible because of the pandemic. Parish leadership felt, this year more than ever, to uphold this tradition to celebrate this service, especially as so many parishes have cancelled their special Christmas services entirely, Christopher Thomson, a longtime member of the church, said.

Only two homeless people sought safety in emergency winter storm shelter - but for providers, it’s a teaching moment
Updated Dec 17, 2020;
It may not have been the anticipated groundswell of homeless people, but even the two individuals who sought safety Wednesday night at an emergency shelter as the first winter storm pummeled the region serves as a teaching moment for service providers.
Like most people, the homeless value their possessions and are reluctant to leave them behind, even if it means enduring inclimate weather conditions.
That’s one of the early assessments from Darrel Reinford, executive director of Christian Churches United of the Tri-County Area, whose organization along with Gospel Fellowship Church, on Thursday opened a temporary emergency hazardous weather overnight shelter for men as the first major storm of winter approached the region.
