From Issue No. 257 | February 22, 2017
Places of faith anchor and shape our communities. Yet many congregations are facing declining attendance and insufficient funding to maintain and operate their historic buildings. These important community assets are in a period of transition across the country, and the Peterborough area is no exception. What is their future? How can they continue to contribute in a positive way to their communities? Whether it is to keep their doors open through collaborations to generate new revenue streams, making strategic real estate decisions, or meeting community needs under a new ownership structure, the future of these places depends on urgent collaboration among faith group leaders, community organizations, elected officials, the heritage and business communities, universities and more.
Join us at this unique event where local faith groups, heritage and community organizations will share their experience, concerns and creative solutions to the challenges confronting places of faith in south-central Ontario.
Speakers at the workshop will include:
• Professor Thomas Symons, Chairman, Ontario Heritage Trust
• Natalie Bull, Executive Director, National Trust for Canada
• Lucy Cummings, Executive Director, Faith and the Common Good
• John Good, Executive Director, Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough
• Erik Hanson, Heritage Resources Coordinator, City of Peterborough
