Here in Canada, we are fortunate to have enough vaccines to protect everyone from COVID-19, but other countries are not that fortunate. Our minister, the Reverend Robert Adams is going to get a buzz cut on Sunday, August 1st,  2021 at 11:15 AM at St. John’s Presbyterian Church, 28 Second St. East, and has invited people to donate through Love My Neighbour/Aime tom Prochain Project to help raise funds for UNICEF Canada’s campaign to distribute COVID-19 vaccines quickly and equitably in low- and middle-income countries around the world, giving our whole global family access to life-saving prevention measures. The Government of Canada has decided to match dollar for dollar, donations made by individual Canadians to UNICEF Canada’s COVID-19 vaccination fundraising campaign, up to a maximum of $10 million. This is an incredible opportunity to show Canadian support to those around the world who don’t have the privilege of easy access to vaccinations.
