Orange is top of mind as we near completion with our new roof and lighting installation at our historic St. Anne's log church.
St. Anne's is the oldest public building in Parksville and the oldest log church on Vancouver Island still in use. It was built in 1894, and its previous roofing shakes were installed in the 1970s.
The copper top, and orange look in the early evening light, are symbols of the journey of the Anglican Church of Canada in its commitment to the work of reconciliation within Canada and around the world, and in implementing the United Nations Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).
