EcuLinks Etobicokes & Social Justice Issues | Cora Dusk | coradusk@hotmail.com

Eculinks Etobicoke is a local ecumenical group focused on networking, information-sharing, and support for each other’s social justice programs. We care about poverty reduction, refugee support, the environment/climate change, right relations with Canada’s Indigenous Peoples, and anti-racism initiatives. We meet 4 or 5 times per year and are also engaged in projects such as town hall meetings with election candidates and educational events.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul | Mike Wiley | mike.wiley@utoronto.ca

The mission of the Society is to live the Gospel message by serving Christ through our neighbours in need with love, respect, justice and joy. Our volunteers respond to people who call for various types of assistance. Some may need a compassionate ear. Some may need emergency assistance in the form of food, clothing, or furniture. Others may need information that will help them access appropriate services.
