News & Events:

• PCA Emergency Exit Notice: please be aware to use any closest Fire Exits on emergency as a rule of thumb. The EAP (Evacuation Assembly Point) will be at the Open Area near Playground at the back and to the east of the school. Upon Evacuation, all children teams will guide and ensure all children lineup and gather at the EAP where parents will meet them.  NO parents should go to children area to find their children to avoid panic, delay or lost of children.  More updates will follow in the coming months.
• With God’s mercy and guidance, PGC was able to have a healthy growth in this challenging year of 2022, with increased number of congregants, and moving into PCA as the base for Sunday service and different gatherings. While Year 2022 is coming to an end, PGC needs faithful response from brothers and sisters to God by making offerings to provide for PGC’s financial needs in order to achieve a better balanced budget for this financial year.  Please choose any one below that suits you best: (a) PAD Automatic Deposit (b) Online Offering (c) Cash/Cheque Offering.  Cut-off date for 2022 tax receipt will be on Dec/31.  Please find out more details here: PGCmarkham.org/pgc-offering.
