Who is organizing?

The Stouffville Ministerial Association represents more than twenty churches and parishes in the Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville and area. The current executive president is Rev. Peter Pallant, Bloomington Gospel Church.

Our aim for the All-Candidates Meeting was to provide an information forum (not debate) to hear where candidates stand on issues of concern to the churches and the local community.  We trust that this event was a good opportunity for the churches and parishes of our community to positively engage the political process.
