On January 12, a new exhibition was launched at Gallery 101 at International Headquarters entitled Everyone Needs an Army. Produced by the Canada and Bermuda Territory’s communications team and Grey Canada, the exhibit features a 15-minute documentary film and corresponding display panels that showcase stories of Salvation Army community response and service throughout the COVID-19 pandemic across Canada and Bermuda.
The exhibition was opened by General Brian Peddle, who commended the Canada and Bermuda Territory’s pandemic response and highlighted The Salvation Army’s compassionate presence around the world. “As we declare this exhibit open, may it be something that encourages our hearts, helps us celebrate a difficult time in our history and gives us great hope for the future.”
His Excellency Ralph Goodale P.C., High Commissioner for Canada in the United Kingdom, brought greetings. He praised the partnership between The Salvation Army and the government’s Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada to deliver millions of dollars in aid to Canadians in need. “Sincere thanks to The Salvation Army for the work that you have done in Canada and around the world in that long global struggle against the COVID-19 pandemic… Your relief work to rescue Canadians, get them out of danger and provide that comfort and reassurance, is extremely impressive.”
