Holding up Hope for Holy Trinity

Today, the Winnipeg Free Press released an article on the Holy Trinity Anglican Church at 256 Smith Street. The article features a quote from Heritage Winnipeg as well as congregation members and leaders. There have been no concrete decisions made regarding the fate of Holy Trinity Anglican Church and the article aims to spread awareness of the 140-year-old church’s situation and the work that needs to be done within, and in partnership with the community.

Holy Trinity Anglican church holds great historical significance; it was designed by prominent Architect, Charles H. Wheeler, in Victorian-era Gothic revival style
and it is one of only two surviving Anglican churches built in the city before 1890. Holy Trinity is designated as a historical resource by the City of Winnipeg, and as a National Historic Site by Parks Canada. Its location within the downtown core brings architectural diversity, and it is a very important part of our built heritage and history in Winnipeg, which will require much dedication and support going forward.
