Informed And Shaped By Nature

Another look inside St. Onuphrius.


Quotes on the walls from writers speak to the vastness of the Canadian landscape. One of the things that defines the country and its people is that vast and varied landscape we call home.


Around the back of the church is the Sacristy, a preparation space for the priest. One can look inside.


The back windows allow a view of the area behind the altar screen.


As the 19th century gave way to the 20th century and urban centres developed, social change came along with that to the country as a whole.


In this display case, items of the old Eaton's retail chain, which at that time did much of their business via catalogue.


Social change brought with it things like union organization, temperance, women's rights, and other improvements.


Heading up to the last of the galleries takes us up a long winding ramp that curves around the central hub. A physical relief map of the country is laid out on the floor.
