Saint Andrews, Manitoba — Canada’s Prairie Region (North America)
St. Andrews Anglican Church
L’Église Anglicane de St. Andrew.
Dès 1828, le Révérend W. Cockran afficiait dans les maisons de pionniers de cette région. Il s’établit à demeure en 1829 à Grand Rapids sur la rivière Rouge et il y construisit, dès 1831, une chapelle en bois. Le nombre croissant de ses ouailles nécessita la construction de cette église de pierre, la plus ancienne de l’Ouest canadien. Commencée en 1845, elle fut terminée en 1849. De conception simple, mais explessive, elle devint le centre de l’activité missionnaire de la Terre de Rupert et continue d’étre le foyer de la vie paroissiale.
Erected 1974 by Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada.
