Regional Minister: Justice (currently vacant)
Alexandra Barr, Admin Support for Justice (she/her)
In addition to my work as Receptionist and Admin Support for the Indigenous Minister, I support Jane in her Justice work. I operate primarily behind-the-scenes, working on the website, the newsletter, and creating some of the visual elements you see. Justice is something that is very close to my heart, and I enjoy that I can work towards making the world a better place through my work.

Just Conversations
Justice work in the church can often feel lonely and discouraging, working for change that doesn’t come easily, if it comes at all.
Just Conversations is a monthly online gathering for anyone in PMRC wanting to connect with others involved with justice work around the region. It will be a chance to deepen your justice work in your faith, share stories about what is happening around the region and develop strategies for working together to support each other in “being the change.”
It's free, and drop-in style, open to ministry personnel and congregation members. Stay tuned for upcoming Just Conversations announcements: check out the calendar, or the Recent News Posts below.
