Redevelopment Project Update!

As many of you know, St. John’s has, for a few years now, been working towards redeveloping our property. Our goals are to shore up the parish finances, ensure that we have the funds to pay for the ongoing maintenance of our beautiful heritage church building, and to create a better, more accessible, and more usable space for our parish and St. Michael’s Mission.

After some false starts, over the past couple of years, earlier in 2019, we decided to start fresh with a new process to find a broker that would represent us well in a booming real estate market. We put together a building committee and, with the blessing and support of the Diocese, began interviewing potential brokers.

This fall, we have selected a broker to work with, and we are ready to go forward with the next stage of preparation to solicit offers from developers.

Our broker will be working closely with us over the next few months to identify our own needs and priorities for our space. This will form the basis for the project we will ask developers to bid on. Our building committee will be consulting with parishioners through this process, so you can expect to hear more in the New Year!

We are very optimistic and pleased with where we stand today. A huge thank you from Father Keith and the Wardens to Mtr. Wendy Telfer, Peter McNally, Paul Jonassen, Jean-Christophe Martel, and David Delderfield.

Every blessing!
