New Website for Canadian Pilgrim Association

[jirit]

The Canadian Company of Pilgrims has a brand new updated website.

http://santiago.ca

The Canadian Company of Pilgrims (CCoP) is a non-denominational volunteer-run association that supports Canadians planning the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain. We share the Canadian representation with l’Association québécoise des pèlerins et amis du Chemin de Saint-Jacques.

The CCoP provides information and generates awareness and interest in the Camino to Santiago de Compostela through a network of chapters across Canada and its website and Facebook page. Local Chapters provide a forum for the exchange of information about the Camino and also offer practical training and information sessions to the interested and to prospective pilgrims. The Company also issues Credencials (pilgrim passports) which are recognized by the pilgrimage authorities in Santiago.

The Company also has a world-class hospitalero training program!

Thanks for posting the new site. It's so well presented...and very user friendly. Looking forward to our March gathering in Victoria - also considering the next hospitalero training.

The site is very nicely done. It says that the group helps support two albergues, one on the CF, the other on the Norte. Which albergues are these, and do the Amis also help support these albergues?

The CCoP has provided support for Canada week (around July 1) to the Confraternity's albergue in Rabanal for ages, and over the years somewhere in the environs of €10,000 has gone to the Confraternity for the hot water and kitchen renovations at Miraz. To my knowledge, L'Association Québécoise has not formerly been active in Spain as an organization, but I have been told that they are looking at providing some support on the routes in France.

Thank you for your response. It might be nice to have the Website explain the support to Rabanal and Miraz. I thought the Association might be supporting two albergues full time like other confraternities do.
