Fusion Canada
Based in Edmonton the Canadian team run a Youth Cafes, after school, homework club, a Breakfast Club in the school, contact with youth groups and Youth Daytrips. A “Foundations” Course in Vancouver this year drew together people interested in establishing a work there and ultimately the team is looking to establish a third centre. “Foundations” is regularly offered in Canada and numbers of staff have completed training and have supported Fusion work in other countries, especially Jamaica.
Fusion Canada at Breakforth
Fusion Canada had the pleasure of being invited to the largest equipping and renewal conference in North America.
Held at the Shaw conference centre in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, we hosted Fusion Australias very own, Dave Hammond, all the way from Sydney. As a guest presenter, Dave was able to speak to many particpants about Open Crowd Festivals, and the unique way that they serve as outreach to our communities. We wrapped up the weekend with a "WinterFest" festival, to give participants and guests a hands on experience of the open crowd.
