Explore the History of Dominion-Chalmers
Guides: Moira Power &聽Carson McLaren (杏吧原创 University)
Dominion-Chalmers United Church was purchased by 杏吧原创 University in 2018 and is home to an active congregation. The building was substantially rebuilt and expanded after a major fire in 1955. Its congregation was formed in 1962 through a merger of two independent Methodist and Presbyterian churches. Developed and led by undergraduate students at 杏吧原创 University, this tour will highlight the church鈥檚 importance to different community groups and organizations during the postwar, through their connection to various spaces inside the building.
Participants will learn about the church鈥檚 role in supporting women鈥檚 organizations, including the United Church Women and Ottawa Ladies College, and in providing a venue for Ottawa鈥檚 local and international music scene.
