A new mural flanking the doors to the chapel at The Salvation Army’s Weetamah church in Winnipeg welcome visitors and make the entrance more welcoming. It acknowledge the land on which the building sits, honours the people who visit the building and shares the teachings with everyone who enters.

“We felt it was a great opportunity to visually acknowledge the place in which we worship and create community and the connection to all people who come through the building," says Captain Ian Scott, the Salvation Army pastor at Weetamah when the mural was commissioned.

Recently, The Salvation Army in Corner Brook, N.L., received a large donation of moose meat, allowing them to serve more than 1,000 meals to clients at their soup kitchen. The donation was made possible by local hunters who have brought moose meat to The Salvation Army for the past 17 years. “They like what The Salvation Army does in the community,” says Major Brian Wheeler, pastor at the Army’s Corner Brook Community Church. 

When Sunnyside Produce Ltd., a family-run greenhouse that grows 34 hectares of bell, mini and other specialty peppers in Surreyand Delta, B.C., were reviewing their annual giving options, they had an idea. “Every year, we make donations to different organizations, and we know The Salvation Army does a lot of good work locally,” says Corne Moerman,a fourth-generation grower. “Last year, we got to talking about setting up a program where we ship a pallet per week, which we’ve been doing for a few months now.”Since last May, Sunnyside Produce Ltd. has shipped more than 200 kilograms of bell peppers a week to Salvation Army ministry units across British Columbia, totalling more than 3,000 kilograms.
