Trinity Church, Barrie, Ontario
 Barrie, Ontario (2006 pop. 128,430) is located 70km north of Toronto, it lay along an important supply route, inaugurated during the War of 1812, linking York (Toronto) to British military posts on the upper Great Lakes. The name refers to Commodore Robert Barrie, a British naval officer on Lake Ontario.
Anglicans began worshipping in Barrie when settlement began in 1833 with services held by a travelling missionary. The first church bulding was opened in 1835. The present church building was erected in 1864. On May 9, 1934, it was struck by lightning with fire completely gutting the interior and destroying the church steeple, which was never replaced. The restored building was reopened 6 months later with the appearance the church has today.
