St. John's Shaughnessy Memorial Church

St. John's Shaughnessy Memorial Church was designed by Major G. L. Thornton Sharp and built in 1949 to stand as a memorial honouring all Vancouver’s sons and daughters who answer the call to serve their country. Funds for the project were raised from all over the Lower Mainland, some coming from outside the Anglican community, but nevertheless bonded by a common desire to build a living memorial. The cornerstone was laid by J.E. McMullen K.C., on May 29, 1949, and it was dedicated on June 18, 1950.
