Scott Brubacher closed the AGM with a tribute to Archbishop Linda Nicholls. “Your Grace, I want to thank you for your careful leadership of AFC, the wisdom and insight you have brought to our meetings, for your prayers on our behalf, the guidance you have given me over the last two and a half years as Executive Director, and the personal generosity you have shown toward AFC’s programs over the years, including toward Say Yes! to Kids.”

The Anglican Foundation of Canada (AFC) Board of Directors met in Edmonton on May 22–23, 2024, and approved $160,000 in grants to 24 applicants in 17 Dioceses, bringing the 2024 grants total to date to $325,000. The Board also approved a loan of up to $100,000 for a roofing project in the Diocese of Quebec.

The Huron ACW will match up to $10,000 all donations to the Diocese of Huron Says Yes! to Camp Huron team, which is highlighting the need for camp bursaries. “We are so grateful to the Huron ACW for this leadership gift,” says the Rev. Canon Gerry Adam, Director, Camp Huron. “Camp Huron believes that no child should be turned away because of their financial circumstances… but the demand for bursaries grows every year.”
