- Notes
- "The Primate's World Relief and Development Fund (PWRDF), the Anglican Church of Canada's relief and development agency, is making an immediate contribution of $5,000 to help the Territory of the People (formerly the Anglican Parishes of the Central Interior) provide relief to people affected by wildfires in the territory, PWRDF announced July 19 [2017]". "Gordon Light, bishop of the territory until 2008, has been appointed by the territory's current bishop, Barbara Andrews, to oversee how the PWRDF funds will be spent, PWRDF says". "Clergy and lay volunteers, Light said, are working at three major wildfire relief centres in Kamloops, as well as a number of others in Prince George, where evacuees are being registered and houses. On July 12 [2017], 14,000 people including an estimated 1,000 Anglicans, were forced to leave their homes because of the wildfires raging in B.C.'s Central Interior".
