Which means fundraising efforts are underway to help the non-profit organization return home, said Roger Behn.
The church on Shuswap Avenue is assessed at $90,000 and was insured for twice that. But Behn said preliminary figures from the insurance company suggest the damage is in the range of $200,000. We understood the (insurance) was supposed to be sufficient, he said. But I don t know that anybody could have anticipated the amount of damage the fire would do.
The church s front entrance was destroyed by fire July 12, the second suspicious blaze to strike the building in days. The flames destroyed the museum s offices and caused extensive damage through the interior.
