St. John the Evangelist Health Studies Bursary at NSCC:  Aside from making a donation myself, how can I help grow the bursary? Talk to your friends, family, coworkers and social media contacts! Let them know how they can be part of the dream to provide an annual bursary to a student in the Practical Nursing, Return to Practical Nursing or Continuing Care Worker programs, and direct them to the NSCC Endowment Office at 902-220-1596 or NSCC.ca/Foundation. Together we are helping to improve health care in Nova Scotia — one caregiver at a time! We can’t fix everything, but we can do something!

PWRDF: In the early morning of February 6, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake happened near the Turkish/Syrian border. More than 5,000 people were killed and thousands more injured, trapped beneath the rubble. Rescue and recovery work is continuing. To donate to this relief fund, use your blue envelope or a plain one with your envelope number on it, clearly marking it “Earthquake Relief”.
Please remember the important mission outreach branch of the Anglican Church of Canada, each month with the blue offering envelope in your box. There are a large variety of programs supported, both long and short term. Also disaster relief projects as they arrive. More information may be found at https://pwrdf.org/.
