The Menno Simons Centre is mentioned in the article “The church as landlord – Providing affordable housing for students may keep young people connected to the church” by Emily Loewen, Young Voices Co-editor, from April 23, 2013 in the Canadian Mennonite magazine. Emily described a congregation that was thinking of purchasing a house in Saskatoon to provide a community living space with affordable rent for Mennonite students who are not studying at a Mennonite University. She then interviewed Kevin Hiebert (PCDA VP) and Sam Dueckman (former MSC resident) to learn more about the work the Centre has been doing in this area for the past 26 years.
