Hamilton Leadership Prayer Breakfast

The annual event is an opportunity for the Christian community in Hamilton to gather together to support and honour our local Members of Parliament (MPs), Members of Provincial Parliament (MPPs) Mayor and City Councillors, as well as our first responders and community leaders, and lift them up in prayer. This year's speaker is Kevin Rempel - a World Champion, Paralympic Bronze medalist in sledge hockey, and speaker who knows what it means to fight your way through adversity. After a freestyle motocross crash left him paralyzed, doctors told him he might never walk again. A year later, he proved them wrong, learning not just to walk, but to compete for Canada on the world stage. Through his journey from injury to the Paralympics, Kevin discovered that choosing the right mindset is key to getting back up. However, after walking away from Jesus for nearly 20 years and returning to God in 2024, he’s now recognized that it was God who carried him all along and now loves to share his testimony to give others hope… Thursday, June 4, 2026, 6:30 AM – 8:30 AM. Carmen's Event Centre 1520 Stone Church Road East Hamilton, ON L8W 3P9. For more info visit hamiltonprayerbreakfast.ca.

To livestream this and other Evening Public Lectures, visit rgnt.net/live. The God of the Bible is a God of righteousness and justice. While Christians know that his righteousness and justice will not be complete in this world, we still rightly desire to pursue these here and now, for his sake and for the sake of human flourishing. But when does being a “culture warrior” conflict with our role as ambassadors of Christ? In a time of increased division and polarization, the warrior mindset may be more than ever in conflict with the Christian’s call to the ministry of reconciliation. Karen Swallow Prior is a Karlson Scholar at Bethel Seminary, a writer and speaker whose work has appeared in publications ranging from Christianity Today to The New York Times. Her most recent book is You Are… Monday, June 8, 2026, 10:30 PM – 11:30 PM. online or in person from Regent College Chapel, 5800 University Boulevard, Vancouver, BC.

National Indigenous Peoples Day

This is a day for all Canadians to recognize and celebrate the unique heritage, diverse cultures and outstanding contributions of First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples. The Canadian Constitution recognizes these three groups as Aboriginal peoples, also known as Indigenous peoples. Although these groups share many similarities, they each have their own distinct heritage, language, cultural practices and spiritual beliefs. In cooperation with Indigenous organizations, the Government of Canada chose June 21, the summer solstice, for National Aboriginal Day, now known as National Indigenous Peoples Day. For generations, many Indigenous peoples and communities have celebrated their culture and heritage on or near this day due to the significance of the summer solstice as the longest day of the year.
