 The GO Project 2010
The GO Project hosted by Islington United Church is an important youth ministry which is held throughout the month of July and August in Toronto, Halifax and Vancouver. For two 11-day sessions, Islington youth (grade 9 to age 19) and youth and their leaders from across Canada live and work together at Islington, at St. Andrew’s United in Halifax and Ryerson United Church in Vancouver – learning about what it means “to love and serve others” as God calls us to do.
