A concise, full-colour visitor's guide to dozens of historical churches scattered throughout Vancouver Island, from humble country chapels to soaring urban cathedrals.
For many European settlers who arrived on Vancouver Island in the late nineteenth century, building a church was as important as establishing a homestead or erecting a school. The church was the heart of the community. Today, although demographics have shifted and church attendance has waned, many of those early structures are still standing.
