    Enderby, B.C. church receives $600k in grant funding for renovations – Okanagan | TIF News

    St. Mary’s Church in Enderby, B.C., has received $600,000 in funding for renovation and relocation.

    The original St. Mary’s Church was struck by lightning and burned to the ground in 1916. By 1918, a new church was constructed with the help of the Splatsin community and an Oblate priest.

    The church still stands as a place community members come together in prayer, at weddings, funerals and more.

    The Splatsin Development Corporation received the grant and will be working on the project. $500,000 of the funding is from Heritage BC’s 150 Time Immemorial Grant Program and the remaining is from a Rural Development training grant.

    “I have been involved with this initiative since my second year on the Splatsin Band Council, and it’s been a long time coming,” said Splatsin Kukpi7 (Chief), Doug Thomas in a press release.

    Thomas acknowledges the work done by the Elders in the community for requesting the renovation. He says a few details relating to the relocation and restoration still need to be worked out.

    “I believe we will receive a lot of positive input and assistance from our community that will see this project to completion.”
