The Presbyterian Church in Canada was awarded a special plaque of appreciation at the centennial General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Korea, held in September. Addressed to the General Assembly of The Presbyterian Church in Canada, the plaque stated:

In recognition of your support for foundation and development of the Korean Church, and God’s mission for Koreans and Korean society especially in the fields of education, medical services, relief aids and industrial mission, since 1885 when you sent the first Canadian Presbyterian missionary, Rev. William John McKenzie, I would like to express our sincere appreciation for your commitment.
