Call for Snow Shovellers
Welcome snow shovellers each and all. No tickets, reservations, or fees!
Where: 729 St. Clair Ave. W.
When? Every snow fall day from 7: 15 am till all clear.
A wide array of contemporary and vintage snow shovels are available on site. New this year—The Big Scoop! But bring your own shovel if that is best.
Your shovelling helps guests to safely access the food and social support programs that operate at St. Matthew’s on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. Snow shovelling provides access seven days a week for participants in the child care, music, dance, theatre, meditation, exercise,
public speaking, drawing and other programs in the building that share the costs and keep 729 available for community use. And, not to forget, Sunday services!
Learn more about the history of St Matts, our Ministry Team, Youth Group and Good Food Box Program.
Through our worship, we share in story, in celebrations and moments of awe, in concerns, prayers, and song.
