“It was encouraging to see the full breadth of AFC’s granting program this cycle, with grants awarded in all five of our funding impact zones,” says Dr. Scott Brubacher, Executive Director. “The grants awarded also represent wide-ranging parts of the country—literally from coast to coast to coast—from Alert Bay, BC, to Iqaluit, NU, to Gander, NL.”

At the same time, the Board welcomed two new Directors as well as one new Diocesan Representative.
