We particularly were appreciative of the considerable liaison work she did in bringing this federally-incorporated registered charity, Christian Info Canada and The Word Guild together. It seemed that the timing was both right and providential and Wendy was astute enough to recognize that. The story of the various iterations of Christian Info Canada, and its historically-related and similarly-named cousin, Christian Info Society would make a book, we are sure. Its latests, of course, was the development of Christian News Ottawa, in 1998. That became ChristianWeek Ontario a decade later, operating under Fellowship for Print Witness -- thus freeing up the charity for its next phase of usefulness. In any case, Wendy was the unsung hero in that transitional endeavour. John Irwin, who had been the CIC chair, has continued on the new board, chaired capably by Les Lindquist. And the rest, as they say, is history.
