As St. Anne's Anglican Church in Toronto's Little Portugal marks the one-year anniversary of its destruction by fire, restoration efforts are well underway. The new design will feature a smaller capacity of 400 instead of 800 while retaining original elements such as artwork and the high altar. Although the fire's cause remains undetermined, the investigation continues without suspicion of foul play. Despite having $8 million from insurance, the church will also pursue fundraising to complete the restoration project with community input.
The church will try to incorporate as many elements of the original building as possible, including the restored artwork and the old high altar.
The building has about $8 million left of insurance money... St. Anne's will also have to fundraise and rely on private donations to pay to fully complete the project.
