2023-07-18 - ...on June 6, 1870, a meeting took place and participants agreed to ask the Bishop of Toronto to create a new Anglican parish named Christ Church. The Bishop and Diocese agreed, and land for a church was purchased for one-hundred dollars. On October 5, 1870, construction began. Within 11 weeks a frame building was completed at a cost of $3,000. In 1872, a rectory was built on Heath Street west. The original parish covered a large area. Its boundaries were Cottingham Street on the south, Eglinton Avenue on the north, Dufferin Street on the west, and the Don River on the east. -- church website, history page -Paul R. Marchesano
