William originally named the organization the East London Christian Mission. It was re-named The Salvation Army in 1878 to reflect the increasingly military structure the movement has adopted. It wasn't until 1882 that the Salvation Army began its work. From the beginning, the Army in Canada adopted William Booth's philosophy that there is little point preaching “salvation” to hungry people. And so the concept of “soup and salvation” tool hold, later to be developed into the comprehensive social service programs The Salvation Army operates today, many of them in partnership with government.

In 1908 salvage work -now called recycling- began in…

As I have matured, I have had various opportunities to see what the Salvation Army has done within our community.…
