It is always in need of continued care.
Over forty years the Old St. Thomas Church Restoration and Maintenance Trust has raised and overseen more than $1.5 million of restorative work — a complete new foundation, roof and truss repairs, window re-glazing, tower re-cladding, brick re-pointing, plaster refinishing.
The repairs continue in cycles. Windows need painting, roofs need replacing, brickwork needs repointing, the tower needs re-cladding. Gifts come from designated giving, wills and bequests, foundation donations, and grants such as the Ontario Heritage Trust — but it is community support that keeps this building standing.
