Happy National Volunteer Week!
The theme this year is Volunteers Make Waves. To quote the national volunteer.ca website, the theme was chosen because, "...It highlights the power, impact and importance of individual and collective volunteer efforts across Canada. Like a wave, volunteering is movement building. Water is in constant motion, always flowing, shifting, and transforming with every powerful wave or quiet ripple. And so is each volunteer’s contribution toward creating impact in our communities. "
We could not agree more with this statement. There are countless volunteers across our diocese of islands and inlets that make so much possible in their communities. We lift up their service and gifts and thank them for all that they do.
Thank you Everyone!

The Diocese of British Columbia acknowledges that for thousands of years the Coast Salish, Nuu-chah-nulth, and Kwakwaka’wakw peoples have walked gently on the unceded territories where we now live, work, worship, and play. We seek a new relationship with the first peoples here, one based in honour and respect, and we thank them for their hospitality.
We currently do not have regular office hours. Please contact the Church or one of our ministers via their cell phone or email for pastoral care or questions. You can also email via the Contact form link located on the upper right of every page.
We thank you for registering to attend in-person worship at St. Columba's Port Hardy. A reminder that, at this time, people are respectfully asked to worship via our online option if they are unvaccinated, though we are not checking proof of vaccination at worship services. We also ask everyone to evaluate their current health status using provincial guidelines each time they arrive at the church and wear a mask at all times in the building.
