Fire In Church Major Loss For Canadian History

After a devastating fire quickly consumed and destroyed St. Anne's Anglican Church, many are still reeling about how major this loss is. Not only for those who frequented the house of worship, but also for those who have a love for architecture, classic Canadian painters, and love true Canadian history.

Ken tells Alex why the Group of Seven Frescos were so unique in the world, but also reminds her that these houses of worship are just buildings, it's the people who truly matter.
