Does Manitoba need a Christian Heritage Month? Does Canada? Yes, says an evangelical couple in Toronto. And now a Progressive Conservative MLA in Manitoba has joined them, introducing a private member’s bill, The Christian Heritage Month Act, to declare the month of December as Christian Heritage Month in the province.
Already, about 50 towns and cities in Canada have declared December Christian Heritage Month in their communities, including Toronto, Calgary, Ottawa, Saskatoon, Kingston and Nanaimo, along with the province of Saskatchewan.
Reaction by church leaders in Manitoba is mixed. Some welcome it, some are cautious, some oppose it. Whether or not it happens will be decided by politicians in spring.
