Renovation Update – September 19, 2021

Here is an update of progress on our renovation project to the end of last month, with photos taken on Friday, August 27. Work on the roof had been completed and lots was being done in the gym and outside on the front gardens and entranceway. The sequencing of inside work was being disrupted by delays due to the supply chain affecting elevator and hardware components, and because the sprinkler system was not yet completed.

As a result, our return to the building will be later than expected, with worship services in our renovated gym scheduled to start in mid-October. Until then, in-person outdoor Church will be held at King Edward Park (77 Avenue and 85 Street) each Sunday beginning at 10:30 a.m. (live-streamed on YouTube).

The concrete formwork for our front entrance and gardens has been completed. Photo taken on August 27.

Work on the inside of the sanctuary continues (looking from chancel stage area). Photo taken on August 27.
