A story of hope
A Rochaโs work in Canada began in 2000 and has spread across Canada with focusedย activity in BC, Manitoba and Ontario. In each place, A Rocha staff and volunteers areย responding to the biblical call to steward creation through hands-on conservation,ย education and agriculture projects.
The story of A Rochaโs beginnings and growth is whimsically told in the bookย Planted, a Story of Creation, Calling and Community. Plantedย invites the readerย to travel with author Leah Kostamo and the A Rocha team on the wildย ride of salmon saving, stranger welcoming and God-worshipping asย they establish the firstย Christian environmental centre in Canada.
A Rochaโs work is most fully expressed through our environmentalย centres and projects in BC, Manitoba and Ontario.
โPlanted is a work of grace and wit, conveying the joy for which A Rocha is known.โ
โIf bad news about the planet is getting you down, read Planted. If all Christians were like those in A Rocha, ours would be a radically different world.โ
