Sister Helen Warner, Director of Toronto Key City Public Affairs Council of the Church currently volunteers at the Vanier Centre for Women in Milton.

A few sisters from Mississauga Stake alternate with Sister Warner and her two companions for monthly visits to the Centre. The visits entail recording women reading stories or taping messages for their children. Sister Warner said that the women are excited to be able to connect with their children in this way and are very are also occurring around the province.
