Panorama of Mission (Western Ontario Mennonite Conference)

Date of creation: ca. 1964

4 sleeves containing 80 35mm color, a script and a reel-to-reel tape of the presentation. The slides were of various projects supported supported by the Western Ontario Mennonite Conference Mission Board, including new churches at Millbank, Stratford, London, Ailsa Craig and Parkhill, nursing homes, and the London Rescue Mission. Not all slides have been identified and correctly placed in sequence. There is additional sleeve of 20 unidentified slides that came with the collection.

For further information on the Western Ontario Mennonite Conference Mission Board see IV

The slides were donated to the Archives sometime in the 1970s.
