In Caledon there’s a historical building located in Belfountain that has stood for over 130 years and falls under the Ontario Heritage Act, it’s the Belfountain Village Church a congregation that has existed for nearly two centuries.
Like any building that has stood as long as it has, work has to be done to maintain it, but unlike any regular old building, the work must be specific to keep its Heritage status.
After years of wanting to begin a restoration project on the steeple, the church finally was able to get to work.
For the church to retain its Heritage status, the project had to ensure that it stayed as close to what it looked like in the 1880s as possible, which was no small task according to Pastor Fred Dykes.
