Notes

2017-05-07 - Identified through information in Casavant documents, courtesy of Simon Couture. -- Relocated to St. Cuthbert's Anglican and rebuilt by Guilbault-Thérien in 2000. -Database Manager

2017-12-16 - Became part of the United Church of Canada in 1925; merged with Bond St. Church 1928 to become St. James-Bond United Church (thought to possibly be the inspiration for the name James Bond to Ian Fleming since the author drove by the church for a number of years on his way to and from work); merged into Fairlawn Heights United Church in 2005; building demolished in 2006. -Database Manager
