Bishop's Company 2005

The annual Bishop's company dinner was a huge success. This year's record-breaking dinner had more than 300 people in attendance at the Burlington Convention Centre.
The guest speaker was Judy Maddren. Her voice has been heard on CBC Radio and Television since 1972. She began her career as a Consumer Information reporter, and then in 1974 became a staff announcer. She has hosted many radio and television shows, including the Midday News; What's New, a television news program for kids; Sunday Magazine; Tapestry; the World at Six; and of course World Report, CBC's flagship radio newscast of the day, which brings national and international news to Canadians every morning. We are thankful to Judy for eloquent and humorous presentation.

Through previous years' donations, the Bishop has given monetary gifts to clergy and licensed lay workers on the occasion of the birth of a child or other significant occasion. The Bishop has also distributed educational grants and assisted clergy who have been in need of funds because of compassionate reasons. The Bishop has also sought to foster a closer relationship with retired clergy and clergy widows/widowers.
