Obituary

  An insight into the wonderful generosity of Maria Teresa Pereira. Donations for Maria will be used to help honour her life in continuing to support what was meaningful to her. In memory of Maria Teresa Pereira Donations to the Christmas fund for the Homeless BLCF Café  BMO Bank of Montreal Acc. 2795 8940180   

Teresa was very involved in the BLCF. Café, every Wednesday she made sure she was there not only to serve their meals for the homeless but also the word of God was always spoken through her lips among them with such joy.   She loved to work side by side with Sophie and Margaret and Ron. They all navigate a great ship with kindness and dignity. This fund is to carry on the Christmas spirit for gifts of the less fortunate. Teresa held this dear to her heart. 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~     
Teresa estava muito envolvida no Café BLCF todas Quarta-feira, ela se certificava de que estava lá não apenas para servir suas refeições para os sem-teto. A palavra de Deus sempre foi dita através de seus lábios para eles com tanta alegria. Ela adorava trabalhar lado a lado com Sophie, Margret e Ron. Todos eles navegam em um grande navio com bondade e dignidade. Esse fundo e para continuar com o Espirito de Natal pelos presentes dos menos afortunados. Teresa manteve isto querido no coração.

Volunteers Needed for the BLCF Cafe Community Dinner

Volunteers, (individuals or groups), are needed to help at the BLCF Cafe Community Dinner, a weekly dinner that feeds over 100 homeless and marginalized people, every Wednesday Evening. Relying on fundraisers and private donations, BLCF Cafe receives neither government grants nor corporate sponsorship. BLCF Cafe does rely on the dedication of volunteers to serve over 7,500 dinners, annually. 

Volunteers serve each guest a wholesome dinner, with dignity and respect. If you are able, why not contribute a few hours of your time for a great cause? You will be glad you did when you see the smiles on the faces of the people we serve.

For more information: Contact Sophie Mickelson at blcfcafe@yahoo.ca 416-535-9578. See us on facebook under BLCF Cafe: BLCF Cafe Facebook Link or our BLOG: BLCF Cafe BLOG. BLCF Cafe Community Dinner was established in January 2008 by and is operated under, the auspices of,  Bloor Lansdowne Christian Fellowship - BLCF Church: http://www.blcfchurch.ca/  BLCF Church Web Page

Please Note: While BLCF Cafe is willing to complete school, college and university community service volunteer forms, in order to ensure both the safety and protection of young volunteers, BLCF will neither supervise nor fill out forms or letters for volunteers required by the courts or social services.

First Toronto Heat Warning For 2019

Environment Canada has issued a special weather statement for the city of Toronto, warning of high daytime temperatures for the remainder of the week.

  “A relatively hot and humid airmass has reached the area and will remain in place through Friday,” says the national weather service. “Maximum afternoon temperatures near 30 degrees and humidex values in the high thirties are forecast for most areas with slightly cooler temperatures near the shores of the Great Lakes.”

Some relief from the heat will come during the overnight hours as temperatures dip to between 17 C and 20 C.

  Heat warnings are in effect in some areas across the province including Windsor and Ottawa where humidex values will make it feel like 40 C over the next few days.

Toronto Public Health recommends staying cool by drinking plenty of water even before you feel thirsty. As well, checking in with friends, family, and neighbours who may be more vulnerable to the heat. These include children, pregnant women, older adults and people with chronic illnesses.

There’s also a reminder to never leave people or pets inside vehicles as temperatures can reach dangerous levels in a short span of time.

A cold front is scheduled to move in Friday which will bring cooler temperatures and lower humidity for the weekend.
