In 1 966, he fnvited the clergy of ail other denomiina- tions ini Whitby to hold, in turn, their own form of service in the church. In 1 967, Rev. Armnstrong and one of his parishioners were able to serve a dinner of buffalo mneat to celebrate the country's I Oth birthday and turned the money raised over to the Cree Indians ini Saska tchewan. Also in that year, he laid the ground work to bring to Anderson Collegia te, under the. auspices of the churchi, a fashion show "Portraits from the Past", reviewing women's fashions for the first 50 years of confederation.
