Interventions to Protect
Oro Methodist Episcopal African, 1849
Built on land set aside for black troops of the Coloured Corps after the War of 1812. ACO supported the township’s campaign to fund the church’s restoration. Need for that support negated, by success (more than $72,000 donated) of the township’s campaign, which was topped by a $121,000 Trillium grant.
May 18, 2016: restoration complete, church re-opens.
