Simon Lewchuk

Prior to joining CPJ, Simon spent several years coordinating the outreach ministry and social justice efforts of an Anglican church in downtown Toronto. Through that experience, he gained a valuable first-hand glimpse of the reality of poverty in Canada.

Simon is excited to join the CPJ team and eager to combine his "on the ground" experience with his educational background to help effect meaningful change in Canadian public policy. He holds a MTS from Tyndale Seminary in Toronto and a BA in Political Science from University of Waterloo.

Simon's background is steeped in various Christian traditions: Baptist, Mennonite Brethren, and Anglican. He is passionate about helping people discover how their faith informs and inspires both compassion and justice.

Simon, his wife Ashley, daughter Sophie, son Samuel, and their dog Maddy, live in Ottawa.
