The funds collected by the Women’s Savings Action are the main source of income for the purchase of books and periodicals for the library. In fact, the library at CRTS is funded almost solely by these donations and the Women’s Savings Action has been instrumental in building the current library collection. Over the years, this organization has raised over $900,000 for the library.

The Lord has greatly blessed the efforts of the Women’s Savings Action, and the library contents and facilities would be unimaginable without this vital work. Please help to keep our library functioning and up to date by donating when your local rep collects, or through Canada Helps (be sure to add your congregation’s name in the message box of the Canada Helps WSA page).

History and Significance of the WSA

The Women’s Savings Action was established in 1969 soon after the opening of the Seminary. In the past the WSA provided funds for various teaching aids. In 1984, a very substantial contribution was made towards the purchase of the present Seminary building and a plaque in the library commemorates this fact. The WSA was also able to make a generous donation for the new library facility that was built in 2000.
