McDougall United Church
Someone committed arson and burned this lovely church down on May 20, 2017, just a handful of months after this photo was taken. I was looking forward to photographing it again. There is a long and complicated history of mistreatment of indigenous peoples in Canada, and the arson was possibly linked to that history. There is talk of rebuilding, but that is challenging due to changes in materials and workmanship over the years, and also that aforementioned history.
