Our Mission
The mission of ARPA Canada is to educate, equip, and encourage Reformed Christians to political action and to bring a biblical perspective to our civil authorities. ARPA Canada exists because we care. We care about our nation, our communities, our families, and our freedoms. Most of all, we care about what God says is good and right. Jesus Christ told us that the greatest commandment is to “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind” and to “Love your neighbour as yourself.” How do we show love? By living our lives in devotion to Him.

Tune in for 15 minutes of news and upates, including the feature interview with Michael Van Pelt of Cardus on the proposed policy change by Universities Canada that would have serious implications for faith-based institutions. In the news: an op-ed by Mark Penninga in the Edmonton Journal that highlights the Alberta government's misunderstanding of the Charter, an interview with ARPA's Education Policy Consultant Harry Moes, a clip from the rally at Queen's Park last week on Ontario's controversial sex-ed curriculum. Finally, vandalism continues in Kelowna - hear what Marlon Bartram has to say about his society's perseverance in educating the public.
