Anti-Hate Security and Prevention Grant Recipient

Beach United Church December 14, 2023 No Comments

Beach United Church received $7,500 from the Ontario government as part of their program to combat hate in Ontario and build stronger, safer and more inclusive communities.

The grant is intended to help ensure faith-based organizations (churches, mosques or synagogues) and cultural organizations (such as, those that serve Black, Indigenous, Asian or 2SLGBTQIA+ communities) have safe and secure community spaces in which to practice their faith or express their cultures and beliefs.

The grant can be used to enhance or implement measures to protect and secure their facilities from hate-motivated incidents, graffiti, vandalism and other damages.

Beach United’s Operation Advisory Committee will be developing recommendations on how to use the funds which may include things like enhancing locks, installing cameras, training staff and other measures.

Christmas Market 2023 Recap

Beach United Church November 30, 2023 No Comments

We want to thank everyone who came out to our Christmas Market this year – it was such a fantastic day, full of so much joy and Christmas spirit. We also want to thank all of our vendors, our many, many incredible volunteers, and our wonderful staff.

We would also like to thank all of the realtors who took the time to build, design and donate gingerbread houses for our silent auction – these were such a highlight of the market!

Thank you to:
