- On Sept. 28 around 5 a.m., St. George’s Church in Loon Lake burned to the ground. Everything inside the building was destroyed, with the only remnants of the church being a weathered sign out front of where the entrance used to be. Residents shared photos of the church on social media and the countless memories associated. However, some expressed their frustration and believe the fire was set deliberately in relation to the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation on Sept. 30. The church was constructed in 1938 and still held a community service once a month. It was one of the iconic older churches in the diocese.
- On Oct. 27-31, the PWRDF sponsored a conference, “Agitate for Indigenous Youth,” in the diocese, which was held at the Quest Camp in Christopher Lake.
