- Loans totalling $116,000 have been authorized by the Anglican Foundation to aid building programs being undertaken by four churches and a lay training centre in various parts of Canada. The Foundation aids in a financial way, needs of the church which cannot normally be met by any other source.
- The parish of St. Alban's, in a rapidly-growing district of Regina, receives a loan of $35,000 for a one-storey-and-basement structure, the first unit of a permanent church building. At present services are held in a small portable building.
- Anglicans and Roman Catholics in Gold River, a new town on the west coast of Vancouver Island, are planning a church to be used by both denominations. The Anglican Foundation has made a loan of $25,000 to the Diocese of British Columbia to assist in the building of the church. Logging and a pulp mill are the basic industries of the Gold River, the population of which has grown from 300 to 2,000 in four years.
- Bishop R.J. Pierce of the Diocese of Athabasca reports that the rectory at Hay River, the growing northern communications centre of the Northwest Territories, is hopelessly inadequate and cannot be made decently habitable. The diocese has received a loan of $21,000 together with a grant of $4,000 for the erection of a new house.
- The parish of St. Augustine in St. John's, Newfoundland, is to receive a loan of $20,000 to aid in the erection of the first unit of a church planned to accommodate a congregation of 500. Currently services are being held in the gymnasium of Brinton Memorial School.
- A loan of $15,000 has been made to the Sorrento Lay Training Centre in British Columbia for the erection of an additional building to accommodate some staff members, visiting lecturers and students. The facilities of the centre on the shores of picturesque Shuswap Lake at present consist of a brick house, camp sites, cabanas and a trailer park.
