Alberta Bound!


In two short weeks, a group of seventeen Canadian church leaders, Southern partners, Indigenous leaders from Canada and KAIROS staff will head to Northern Alberta to learn more about Canada's tar sands.

These projects play a huge role in Canada's economy, in the varied communities of the Athabasca region, in the Boreal forest and in the global climate. What are their impacts, positive and negative? How should they be developed?

These are big questions, questions which every Canadian Christian should take to heart. Join us on our journey. A different member of the delegation will be blogging each day.
