The Fairlawn Neighbourhood Centre is a vision of our church, developed through proceeds from the Fairlawn/Armour Heights merger in the mid-1990s as an outreach to meet community needs. It remains one our visions today, and a thriving one at that.

Last winter, Executive Council requested a review of the FNC relationship – something we hadn’t actually done since the centre opened – with an emphasis on how well it’s working, how it has evolved and how it can be strengthened.

The report was submitted to Council in the early summer, thanks to the work of the review team: Sheila Corkill, Katherine Dalziel and John Wettlauffer. Click the link on the left to read the report.

As our church activity starts to pick up again this fall, we’re looking at strengthening the collaborative approach in the relationship, an initiative begun by Rev. Christopher White and FNC Executive Director Naomi Schafler. The report includes a look at costs in the relationship, providing an opportunity for further discussions that will best serve the mission of both the church and the centre.

Note: The financial statements of the Fairlawn Neighbourhood Centre are available in the FNC office.
