Acknowledgment of Traditional Territory
New and corrected information came to light in recent weeks that St. John‟s, Smiths
Falls sits on the traditional territory of the Algonquin Peoples, and not, as earlier
understood on territory covered by the Upper Canada Treaties. This has been corrected
on our bulletins.
Parish Directory
The team is working hard and the St John's on-line church directory is being developed.
In the coming weeks about how to “opt-out” of having contact information or your photo
in the directory. If you have a picture already that you would like to have added to the
directory, please notify Laura ([email protected]). If you would like your photo
taken, please approach Laura Porter, Dan Willis, or Terry Dillabough. Please direct
questions about the directory to Dan Willis at [email protected]
