Earlier in February 2026, several Chinook Winds Regional Ministry Personnel gathered near Caroline, AB for a meaningful time of renewal, learning, and shared reflection organized by Chinook Winds Region and LeaderShift. Set in the beautiful Sanctum Retreat Centre, the retreat offered space to rest, reconnect, and deepen relationships with colleagues from across the Region. We were grateful for the thoughtful leadership of Rev. Britt Aerhart of Salisbury United Church in Sherwood Park, alongside Regional Minister Rev. Dr. Karen Medland and LeaderShift Director Rev. Michelle Slater. We look forward to offering another Ministry Personnel Retreat in two years.
