St. George's Anglican Church

This is St. George's Anglican Church in Brigus, NL. The church was built between 1876 and 1877 and is a landmark in the community of Brigus. Likely one of the most recognizable structures in the town, St. George's stands as a testament to the importance of the church in Newfoundland during the Victorian era. It is also a worthy example of the implementation of imported architectural styles into rural Newfoundland.

This building is one of the few remaining examples of a large outport church built at the height of Newfoundland Anglicanism. Of elaborate design, the layout is in contrast to many of the more simply designed churches built in Newfoundland at this time. Its original features include the Gothic stained glass windows, dry stone foundation and timber framing. It is a good example of the craftsmanship of the period, particularly that of local builder George C. Jerrett.

CBC Soccer Day In Canada

Sorry, forgot to post yesterday. CBC hosted a soccer game at King George V soccer field on Sunday. The game was between a team of local celeberties against a team of boys & girls under age 14. The centre photo is of Rex Goudie, Canadian Idol runnerup last year, singing the Ode to Newfoundland.
