History

The original Anglican parish was established in 1877. To enable parishioners living west of the canal to get to church on Sundays, the parish kept a row boat and ferryman.[ citation needed ]

A new Arts and Crafts style church was built in 1916 and dedicated as Church of the Ascension in 1920. [1] The features include Parish Hall and the stained glass windows, some of which were salvaged from the original church. The church participated in the 2012 Doors Open Ottawa. [2]
