Referendum Discussion - Immigration Questions (1–5)
In the weeks ahead, Albertans will be asked to make some significant decisions about our province, our relationships with one another, and our future together.
As communities of faith, we believe these questions deserve more than slogans and sound bites. Our faith calls us to engage thoughtfully with the issues that shape the lives of our neighbours, and places where community gathers (including our churches) have an important role to play in creating space for meaningful conversation, relationship, and mutual education.
Over three Sundays, we will gather after worship for approximately one hour to explore the questions appearing on the upcoming Alberta Referendum:
September 20 — Immigration Questions (1–5)
September 27 — Constitutional Questions (6–9)
October 4 — The Separation Question (10)
Discussions will take place at both the McDougall site, in the Hospitality Hall, and the Red Deer Lake site, in the sanctuary.
These gatherings are open to everyone from Ogden, McDougall, and Red Deer Lake, whether you attend one conversation or all three. Our hope is to create space to listen, ask questions, learn from one another, and consider how our faith and values inform the choices before us.
Because our time together will be limited, we encourage everyone to do a little reading, listening, or reflection before coming. The more familiar we are with the questions themselves and some of the issues surrounding them, the more time we can spend in genuine conversation rather than simply explaining the basics.
Two good places to begin are the Prepared to Drown referendum podcast series and the referendum resource package circulated to United Churches across southern Alberta by Chinook Winds Region . Over several weeks, Prepared to Drown has brought together a range of special guests to explore the referendum from different perspectives and areas of expertise, with the goal of digging beneath the individual questions and examining the larger stories, assumptions, relationships, and consequences at stake. The Chinook Winds resource package offers another useful starting point for understanding the questions and considering them through the lens of our faith and shared life.
There are consequential questions before us. Some concern policy and constitutional arrangements; others reach into deeper questions of identity, belonging, responsibility, and the relationships we choose to maintain with one another. We hope these gatherings can help us approach all of them with curiosity, care, courage, and a commitment to one another.
All are welcome.

Artist Bio
Crystal Clark is a Dene, nêhiyaw-iskwêw, and Métis mixed-media artist and Indigenous educator whose work explores themes of relationships, relationality, rematriation, reciprocity, identity, the natural world, and cultural continuity. Through vibrant visual storytelling, her artwork invites viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of people, place, water, sky, plants, animals, and spirit.
With over two decades of experience in education, Crystal brings together her artistic practice and her work as an educator to create opportunities for celebration, learning, dialogue, and reconciliation. Her public art, paintings, and educational resources have been exhibited and commissioned provincially and nationally. She is passionate about creating spaces where art becomes a catalyst for reflection, healing, and meaningful conversations.
As the daughter of a Residential School Survivor, Crystal's work is informed by both lived experience and the first-generation impacts of intergenerational trauma. As an Indigenous educator, she has witnessed firsthand how visual storytelling creates accessible entry points into learning, helping people connect with culture, history, and one another in meaningful ways.
Her work created for the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation first honours the children who never returned home and those who survived, while also recognizing the enduring strength of Survivors, their families, cultures, and communities. Through her art, she encourages collective remembrance, reflection, healing, and hope for present and future generations. You can learn more by visiting her website.

Acadia Pantry
Every month since April 2019, the Acadia Food Pantry has provided free food to anyone experiencing food insecurity in our community. In 2021, the Pantry served an average of 110 people each month. With increasing inflation, more and more of our neighbours are finding it difficult to afford food for their families.
As a volunteer organization supported by residents of Acadia as well as Christ Moravian Church, Lutheran Church of Our Saviour and McDougall United Church, the Pantry depends fully on donations to operate. 100% of every donation is used to buy food and supplies and donations are eligible for a charitable tax receipt.
Free food for residents of Acadia and nearby neighbourhoods (map below).
We continue a monthly distribution schedule on the third Tuesday of the month, 12 noon - 12:45pm.
