Does anyone remember Sunday mornings in Crawford Park when the Catholic church bells would chime ... they had ser vices at the school at the corner of Fayolle and Churchill....
All Saints on Ouimet and then the United Church on Clemenceau had it's taped hymns blasting.
I believe there was a noise pollution law passed and all these bells were reduced.

Just remember:
many of good people walked thru those churchs door as the bells were ringing..at the time we just took it for granted , never thinking that fifty odd years later we would look back at those days.I know the minister lived next door to the united church but did also the minister live next door to the Anglican church ??my boys club days were held at that church..we use to have to wear a little green hat..
I grew up in sight of both those churches. Yes, the minister for All Saints did live in the house right next door. I loved the church bells ringing on Sundays. At that time (late 60's) they didn't have Catholic mass in Crawford Park anymore though. We had to go in to St. Thomas More.
