is extremely easy to use and the frequency response is adjustable
to the listener's hearing. Headphones are available from the

by giving it a try? We request they be returned to the Narthex
at the end of the service. Thanks.

Please write your prayer requests in the white binder, located

during the prayer time. You may include a first name and a brief
description of the concern, if you wish.

let us know if we may pray for you, or someone you love, are
concerned for, or struggle with. You don't have to give a name
if you don't want to. Someone will be praying for you every
day all month. You may call or email
the church office, or speak with a minister.

Good Food Box Program
You may be interested in participating in this program if you
like: quality produce at an affordable price, to support local
farmers and a variety of fresh fruits & vegetables. The
program runs like a large buying club. Individuals place box
orders with Stonegate CHC staff and receive a box brimming with
fresh, tasty produce. The health centre accepts orders on an
ongoing basis. Orders need to be filled out, and paid for, the
Tuesday of the week prior to each delivery. Deliveries occur
every two weeks. For more information about the program, or
to place an order please contact the Stonegate CHC and speak
with: Samantha O'Brien, samantha.obrien@stonegatechc.org / 416-231-7070

Farm In The Village
Farm In The Village is a new program offered by Etobicoke’s
PACT Urban Peace Program offers an opportunity for Youth-at-Risk
to learn new skills and contribute to community through a
community garden that will be growing vegetables for local
food banks. This community garden is located at 3879 Bloor
Street West, corner of Bloor and Acorn Avenue, west of Kipling.
Farm
in the Village had its opening on Saturday, May 29 with community
participation, music and food. PACT is transforming a large
unused urban space donated by the local business community
into a living classroom experience where youth, local residents,
mentors, parents and community leaders will bring awareness
to a key social issue in our community and create an enduring
bond of peace.
This
urban agricultural initiative involves a 14,000 square foot
community vegetable garden that will provide as much as 10,000
pounds of fresh produce for needy families in Etobicoke. Although
the majority of vegetables grown will be donated to local
food banks, volunteers who work at the garden will be able
to share in the harvest.
Youth-at-Risk
participating in this project will have an opportunity to
develop self-knowledge, self-esteem and learn new skills of
teamwork, communication, leadership……and patience.
It will be a life-changing experience for youth in our community.
For more information, contact Justin Di Ciano, 416-251-3025.

Stonegate Farmers’ Market
The Stonegate Farmers’ Market was initially a market
pilot project implemented by Community Food Animators at FoodShare,
the Stonegate Community Health Centre, and the Stonegate Community
Ecumenical Ministry. The market was set up to tackle food
insecurity issues in the Stonegate neighbourhood. With the
success of the pilot and farmers on board, the market became
a full-fledged farmers’ market in its second year, with
the Stonegate Community Health Centre taking the lead in organizing
and running the weekly event. Since then, the market has fallen
under food access programming at the health centre, and is
still seen as a joint venture supported largely by community
organizations, churches and residents as well as members of
the Stonegate Food Access Committee, St. James’ Humber
Bay Anglican Church and funding from the Food Security Investment
Program.
The Stonegate
Farmers’ Market targets food insecurity and social isolation
issues in the Stonegate community. Focusing on alleviating
hunger and improving access to food, the market offers fresh
produce to area residents who otherwise must depend on the
one large, mainstream supermarket in the area that is accessible
by residents without means of transportation. Park Lawn Road,
where the market is located, is seen as a dividing line between
an affluent neighbourhood and lower income community. The
customer base at the market comes from both sides of this
dividing line, bridging the community together and helping
to provide local residents quality, locally-grown produce
in the neighbourhood, with a venue where the Stonegate community
can come together and connect.
The Market
runs June 22nd to October 5th. The Market is located in the
parking lot at Christ Church St. James’ Anglican Church,
194 Park Lawn Road, just north of the Queensway, next to the
Humber Bay Library.
