From Toronto-As he sits inside All Saints’ Anglican church in Whitby, Roy Allam still gazes in amazement at how the building has been transformed since a devastating fire in 2009.
Allam feels those emotions welling up around the Christmas season because that’s when a deliberately set fire caused about $5 million in damage eight years ago.
The fire blew huge holes in the ceiling, including above the altar where flames tore through the roof.
But the holes have long since been covered, the portion over the altar now featuring beautiful painted images of chalices and other symbols of worship.
