Presbytery debate over union policy at Brampton meeting
Gerald Vanderande of the Christian Labor Association of Canada argues against forcing beliefs on workers as the Presbytery of Brampton discusses the General Assembly push for union wage coverage for all employees.

The Brampton area extension gains visitors and plans a charter reception for Dorset Drive Public School in October. A second survey for Erindale is set for September.
