​Thank you for your patience during the first nine months of our life as a regional council! We are charting new territory and developing new materials while engaging new staff and leaders. That takes time and we appreciate your understanding that not all details are in place yet.

The website for Antler River Watershed Regional Council is now LIVE and can be found at: arwrcucc.ca.

Of particular interest will the information under the tab marked Community of Faith. There are two sets of toolkits available, one the pastoral relations toolkit and the other communities of faith toolkit. Please take a moment to review these items. 

The Staff Directory is  also easily available on the site. Additionally there is a spot where people can sign up to receive the regional council newsletter. Please encourage members of your community of faith to subscribe.

More information will be added in the coming months to expand the resources available. Keep checking the website for updates.
