With declining congregations, shrinking budgets and aging buildings, churches are closing all across Canada. I can remember my grandfather attending church every Sunday. It seems like a lost faith with people too busy or who don’t practice faith.

These photos are from various abandoned churches across Ontario that I’ve explored over the years. Some of them are used seasonally while others are open based on the trust that people will treat them with respect.
