Hello LUC Members, Friends of Leaside United Church, and Community Members,
The last few months have presented us with many challenges in our day to day lives in Leaside and all over the world to say the least. During these unusual times, the renovation of Leaside United Church has been moving forward.
We have included a few pictures so you can have a peek inside. The new chancel is now accessible. There is a ramp that will have a railing that is still to be installed; new lighting, and sound system that are amazing!
Our organ remains, and will be repaired once the renovation is complete. The baby grand piano will be on the main floor in front of the chancel.
The gym looks terrific with a new floor and ceiling. Ready for action as soon as we are able to rent it out!
In the lower level of the church you will also see the beautiful new kitchen. Outside of the kitchen where the stage of the auditorium used to be, a new space has been created. We are currently calling it the “Gathering Space” and see it as an area for art displays or get-togethers.
The new front steps are completed on Millwood along with a fabulous new driveway. We are waiting for the delivery of the glass to enclose in the new entrance on Millwood. Inside there will be renovated staff offices and a welcoming reception area with a coffee bar.
Facing McRae, the main entrance steps have been repaired and landscaping of the entire property is happening now!
There are still a lot of details to finalize, but the renovation is looking at a timely end later in October or mid-November.
If you have any questions or comments, please reach out to us. Looking forward to sharing this wonderful new space with all of you.
The Renovation Team
