The Lord willing, we will be celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of the Canadian Reformed Theological Seminary this coming weekend. The festivities begin with a special anniversary convocation on Friday, September 6 beginning at 8pm in the Redeemer University College auditorium.

If you cannot join us in person, we will be livestreaming the convocation. Check out www.crts.ca for the link to the livestream.

We will continue to reflect on God’s faithfulness on Saturday, September 7 from 10am to 2pm with an open house at the seminary building (110 West 27th Street Hamilton). Drop in for a few minutes or stay the whole time! You’ll be able to experience, in a very user-friendly way, what it is like to be a seminary student. Please see here for more details, including some logistical matters.

**Please take note that the Eastbound Lincoln Alexander Parkway will be closed from 9:30 pm Friday evening through Sunday. Access between Hwy 403 and the Mohawk Road exit will be maintained. Please plan your route accordingly.**
