Also see . . . St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church (Wikipedia). St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church is the oldest Presbyterian church in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. The church was founded for, and built by, the Scottish and Irish labourers who were constructing the Rideau Canal for Montreal's John Redpath and their own Thomas MacKay. The location on Wellington Street was purchased for 200 pounds sterling and the church was built during lulls in the construction of the canal.
