In December 2014, in response to a suggestion by Charlie, an application for an AED (Automated external defibrillator) was submitted to the Heart and Stroke Foundation National AED Program. Although our building was approved to receive a machine, there wasn’t the funding to supply one. Oh happy day - through a generous donation from ScotiaBank, the Nova Scotia branch of the
Heart & Stroke Foundation has been able to place four - and Trinity was selected! We hope we never have to use it but pleased we will
have one available if the need arises.

"Gardens are not made by singing 'Oh, how beautiful!' and sitting in the shade." Rudyard Kipling, Complete Verse, 19th century
Great and Holy Mystery, Comforter, Advocate,
Receive our prayers at this sacred time for the families of
missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two-
spirited people
They have waited for a very long time to share their
stories
They have waited for a very long time to obtain a true
sense of justice and reach a true place of peace
Receive our prayers, at this important time, for the
National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous
Women and Girls.
May the inquiry unfold in a way that honours those who
have been lost and that respects in every way in which it
acts, speaks, and conducts its business, the needs and
wishes of the families and loved ones of those who have
been lost
Amen
