Heritage Canada Foundation Launches SPERO-L

A free email-based discussion tool dedicated to finding solutions for places of faith at risk in Canada.

Increasingly, historic churches, synagogues and other places of worship across the country—both urban and rural—are threatened with deterioration and demolition. The reasons are many: shrinking congregations, years of deferred maintenance, shifting demographics and rising urban land values.

If you are facing a challenging situation, or if you would like to share how re-purposed historic places of faith are being preserved and reused in your community, simply send a message to:

spero-l@heritagecanada.org.

A validation email will confirm your participation.
