SAGE (Sustainable Action Group for the Environment) was formed in 2018 and this group has been one of the most active groups in the church.
It has initiated and hosted a number of environmental courses for the community on such themes as: Electric vehicles, Plastics in the ocean, Air quality/wood smoke, and Recycling. The group has also sponsored online Drawdown Solutions Action courses.
There is a commitment to buy Fair Trade tea and coffee for church events and to avoid using plastic cups for serving coffee and tea.
The church recycles paper and other products and composts kitchen waste.
This group facilitated the installation of heat pumps for the building in 2022 and 2023, to replace the existing gas furnace. This project was assisted with a grant from the Faithful Footprints project of the United Church of Canada.

Seniors for Climate Presents: Understanding Wildfire Smoke & Climate Danger
Dear Seniors for Climate supporter,
Canada is facing its second-worst wildfire season ever—over 7 million hectares burned, coast-to-coast blazes, mass evacuations, and dangerously poor air quality for vulnerable groups, especially seniors.
This September 9 at 6:30 PM ET, join Seniors for Climate for a special online event with John Vaillant, award-winning author of Fire Weather. In a 30-minute talk and live Q&A, Vaillant will explore how wildfires—fueled by fossil-driven climate change—are reshaping our lives and what we can do about it.
Why it matters: Seniors are among the hardest hit—facing respiratory distress, displacement, and isolation from wildfire smoke. What you’ll gain: Urgency, insight, and a path forward.
Next step: September 20 – Draw the Line After the webinar, join Seniors for Climate and allies across Canada on September 20 for the Draw the Line day of action. Seniors everywhere will be standing up for climate justice and demanding an end to fossil fuel expansion. Together, we can move from awareness to action.
