The 57th annual National Prayer Breakfast, held in Ottawa in May, brought together Canadian political leaders and members of Parliament with representatives from denominations of Christian faith, including members of The Salvation Army. As a non-partisan event, political leaders of all parties joined with church leaders for prayer, conversations about reconciliation and awareness of human trafficking in Canada.

In September 2017, The Salvation Army in Canada and Bermuda partnered with Indigenous Pathways for the first Celebration of Culture, a sacred space where Indigenous and non-Indigenous followers of Jesus could gather to walk in good relations. As we prepare for the fifth Celebration of Culture this August, Captain Crystal Porter asked people from across the territory to share their experiences of the event.
