Prefab units help to speed Toronto church conversion

by Dave LeBlanc

The Bowden Street church conversion on Toronto's Danforth Avenue will see an eight-storey tower added to the building, while also providing a space where the church's diminished congregation will still be able to attend services.

According to a 2021 Statistics Canada report, from 1985 to 2019 people who reported having a “religious affiliation” dropped from 90 per cent to 68 per cent, and attendance in a “group religious activity at least once a month” fell from 43 per cent to 23 per cent.

Which means religious buildings are closing, and quickly. In 2019, the CBC reported that “9,000 churches and other faith-owned buildings in Canada will be shutting down” over the next decade.
