The St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Nashwaaksis, Fredericton north, New Brunswick is more than just a building - it's a piece of our shared history and community identity. Completed in 1853 and used until 2003, this little stone church is one of the oldest landmarks in Fredericton. It has stood as a testament to our community's resilience and unity for over 150 years.

However, today it faces imminent demolition unless urgent repairs are made to its roof and mold issues are addressed. This isn't just about preserving an old building; it's about preserving our cultural heritage, our connection to past generations who built this community from scratch.

The loss of such an iconic landmark would be devastating for Nashwaaksis - a place that wouldn't be what it is without this church and the stone bridge (which also needs repair). Once they're gone, they're gone forever.

We cannot allow these symbols of our history to disappear without fighting for their preservation. We owe it not only to ourselves but also future generations who deserve to know their roots and appreciate their heritage.

Therefore, we call upon local authorities in New Brunswick to take immediate action towards saving St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church from demolition by allocating necessary funds for its restoration.

Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving historical landmarks like St.John the Evangelist Anglican Church that hold immense value beyond bricks and mortar - they are repositories of memories that define us as a community.
