ADDITIONAL OR SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES:

Signage removed between Oct 2015 – Oct 2016. In the 1960’s the residential neighbourhood this church served went through a significant urban development. The area became very commercial with residential areas being demolished and the congregation moving away. In 2008-10, the facility was upgraded and modernized, and although it was initially successful in revitalizing the church’s role in the community, attendance fell off after 2013.
