St Andrew's Anglican Cemetery - Courtenay
Saint Andrew's Anglican Church in Courtenay, BC on Vancouver Island is a historically significant facility. This is the first Anglican church constructed north of Nanaimo. It was built in 1877 and is referred to as the Mother Church of the area. Using a Gothic Revival architectural style and local timber and other re-purposed elements, this church symbolized the growing population base of the area in the mid to late 1800's as well as the ingenuity of the parishioners. This beautiful structure sits high atop the hill, making it a wonderful presence in the area, like a beacon of hope and fellowship.
The cemetery was also founded at the same time as the church itself. Recently restored, active maintenance and care is performed here maintaining the peace and tranquility for generations to enjoy.
