The EOORC logo symbolizes the natural beauty in EOORC. The maple tree, and green landscape of forests and fields that run through the entire area of Eastern Ontario and Outaouais are symbolic of the ever-growing love of God for all people which EOORC holds dear. In the three main rivers (St. Lawrence, Ottawa and Rideau), and countless other lakes, rivers and streams we feel the Spirit flowing through us to a troubled world. The golden cross represents the sun, a guiding light for EOORC members as we go out, and, with the Light of Christ, we do not go alone.
The proposal WF25: COM04 Elected or Not was not carried at the last General Council meeting in August. However, the General Council referred it to the General Secretary to clarify the language regarding electing and appointing, with a view to proposing revisions to section D.4.6.2(d).
Greetings and the peace of Christ be with you, from Horseshoe Falls Regional Council, AKA HFRC. We are located in the Southern Ontario, including the Niagara Peninsula, and the western shores of Lake Ontario. Our geographical location has allowed us to share resources, mainly in the way of paid regional council staff, with Antler River Watershed and Western Ontario Waterways Regional Councils. This arrangement has allowed all three Regional Councils to have staff specialized in social justice, faith formation, right relations, and ministry pastoral support. Our last report was made to GC 44 in 2022.
