PROGRESS
Church​
-
The fire-damaged church building is leased from the United Church of Canada which has offered a new long-term lease to permit restoration. The community investment to recover the church for community use will now be secure for at least 50 years. This autumn, installation of stained-glass windows and the entrance doorway will proceed after heritage approvals are made by the Municipality of Port Hope.
-
The recovery work is estimated to cost between $400,000 and $500,000. We are very thankful for our community, which has already contributed over $150,000 towards this project. Fundraising continues to raise money for restoring the church and other village buildings.
