Is this an "official" mission website?

This site is in no way an official affiliate of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Although this site is designed to compliment and illustrate the teachings and beliefs of the before mentioned church, no content within this site should be taken as official church policy or doctrine. Everyone knows how easy it is to loose track of companions. We simply want a way for you to know what's going on with former companions and let alumni know when there will be reunions of return missionaries. Back to Top

Is this website maintained by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?

No. The website is not run by or is it directly affiliated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The Church has it's own department for making official statements. Anything read on this site is not to be construed as the official view of the LDS Church. This web site was only created as a place of common interests for those that served as missionaries in the Canada Edmonton Mission or are serving in that mission. Back to Top

Is this site run by the mission?

No. Although this site is based in Edmonton, it is not run by the mission or the Church in any way. We're hoping all missionaries (who have served and will serve) will be able to take advantage of the alumni website as we develop and add to it. Back to Top

What is this website all about?

As we all know, as time slips by, we loose track of the mission, companions, and others. However, through this website, we are able to provide a common meeting place. With this site, we can all keep in touch and be able to share announcements. Back to Top

Why can't I upload my picture?

Knowing computers and how they run, we occassionaly run into problems. Here a a few suggestions. Please make sure there are no spaces found in the filename of the picture you want to use. Also, please make sure all the letters in the filename are lower case. Numbers and letters are okay, but I would also avoid using other characters and symbols. The image type should be a GIF or JPG.
