There are 27,000 faith buildings in Canada, and one third are set to close in the next ten years. Twelve step groups, children’s programming, the foodbank, blood donor clinics, arts groups and community meetings all are occasionally housed in places of faith. Where is all this activity to go in the absence of the faith buildings? If you conduct activities out of places of faith in Ontario, share your perspectives in a new survey by Faith & the Common Good, Ontario Trillium Foundation, Ontario NonProfit Network, Cardus, The National Trust For Canada and the City of Toronto. This ten-minute survey due on June 15, 2019 will study risks to the broader community of places of worship closing.
