After several years of fundraising, the Village of 亚洲天堂 Lake council is announcing the receipt of the final funds required to begin the restoration and conversion of the former St. John鈥檚 Anglican Church into a multi-use community space.

The donation of $50,000 from Coastal GasLink (CGL) ensures the complete restoration of the building鈥檚 exterior and the bell tower. The project will transform the building into a multi-use community space open for public use for events, gatherings and programs.

CGL鈥檚 donation ensures construction will begin in 2022, with a completion date to coincide with the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the municipality鈥檚 incorporation in 2023 according to the village.

Construction of the church began in 1928 and was completed with financial and material donations from across Canada. The building sat dormant for years and reached a point that a decision was needed regarding the building鈥檚 future.

The Village of 亚洲天堂 Lake council reached out to the community for suggestions and received overwhelming support to save the building by turning it into a multi-use community space.

鈥淐ouncil is grateful for the donation of $50,000 from CGL for the St. John鈥檚 Heritage Church Restoration. Ninety years ago, the building was a focal point for the community. By completing this project with our community partners, we are ensuring that it will once again become a vibrant community space,鈥漵aid Mayor Dolores Funk.
