Camp Big Canoe is a United Church sponsored overnight camp located on Hart Lake in beautiful Muskoka and has been in existence for over

50 years.

Our congregation has been great supporters from the beginning.

The camp offers outdoor living in a natural environment on a 240 acre wooded site and children from ages 6 to 16 take part in a wide range of camping activities designed to promote physical, intellectual and spiritual development. 

Each year, the number of people accessing Food Banks continues to grow.

St. Andrew's is proud to support our local Food Bank with specific Sundays dedicated to collecting donations.

Each Christmas, our congregation supports several families through the Mrs. Claus Program under the auspices of York Region Social Enterprises.

The families come from a wide variety of backgrounds but share a common need for assistance in making the holidays special for their children.

For several years, our congregation has sponsored 2 children and their communities through our connection with World Vision.
