Renewal goes to Canada! PDF

Contributed: by Kira Langendoen, student at Redeemer University College and member of Renewal's Student Leadership Team



Renewal made their second stop in Canada last weekend when they came up to Redeemer University College’s campus in Ancaster- near Hamilton, in between Niagara Falls and Toronto (clarification for American neighbours). A team of 5 excited students clad in the stylish black Renewal shirts tabled for the day while Ben spoke to a first year Environmental Science class and many of the involved personnel on Redeemer’s environmental stewardship side, gaining insight about where Redeemer has come and the excited places where we're headed.

The day ended with a fantastic potluck BBQ. We learned the power of FREE FOOD, offering free burgers. An estimated 60-70 students came out for the exciting eco-gathering! What a sense of community! The “black shirts” made a point of spreading the word about Renewal and we offered Ben’s awesome new book “Green Revolution” as door prizes at the end. I’d say the students at Redeemer now know what Renewal is about, and the good food in their bellies adding a positive conceptualization. Thanks to all the excited and dedicated students who helped make this Green Awakening Tour stop a success, especially the boys who stood out in the snow (!) to BBQ!

 

your friends in Canada,

Kira and the team at Redeemer
