lpoutine,
Victoria Watcher has just posted a new topic entitled "[North Park] 932 Balmoral Rd. (First Met. church) | 128 Rentals + arts centre" in forum "City of Victoria".
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With many congregations shrinking, places of worship are looking to expand their role in Canada's communities.
"There's many churches across the country that I think are faced with the same position," says Chris Quigley, director of development at Aryze Developments (https://aryze.ca/).
That position is often having large properties with parking lots that are both expansive and expensive, sitting empty six days a week.
The congregation of the First Metropolitan Church in downtown Victoria left the sanctuary on Quadra Street in 2023. The 1913 Gothic revival church is still a place of worship for three small churches that gather only on Sundays.
"We were approached by the United Church of Canada," says Quigley. The crux of the call was a way to reimagine the 112-year-old church.
