St. Peter's Anglican Church was built in 1926 by Hewitt Bostock, a
local pioneer and rancher. He came to BC in 1888 and in 1896 he was
elected as Federal MP for the District. In 1903, he was appointed
as a Senator and made Speaker of the House in 1922 up until his
death in 1930. He built the church as a memorial to his son who was
killed in action in World War One. The land and cemetary was deeded
to the Anglican Diocese of Kootenay in 1931. The Reverend George
Stewart became the first vicar in 1926. the stained glass windows
in the rear of the church are in memory of his wife who died in
1933. There are plaques on the interior of the church and new
stained glass windows on the front in memory of prominent
partitioners and rectors. When the Trans Canada Highway was
widened, the church was preserved by rerouting the road around the
butte on which the church sits. will be chosen when spring arrives.
