Save St. Giles Church Hamilton! Sign the Petition, today! Let's work together to preserve Hamilton architecture! Tomorrow is a crucial day for gathering community support to save St. Giles. Council votes on Wednesday April 14th for a heritage designation.
Sign the petition here, please. [1]
As custodians of the Playhouse Theatre - also a Stewart and Witton building - it is our responsibility to spread this message and help preserve another one of east Hamilton's great S&W architectural gems.
St. Giles Church is in imminent danger of demolition! We want the original 1912 portion of the church designated as a heritage building as it should have been in 2018. At that time, the heritage committee recommended designation as the building met 8 of the 9 criteria for designation when only 1 is needed under the Ontario Heritage Act. This beautiful building has significant architectural, cultural, and historical importance to Hamilton and must be protected.
