Looking back to 1977 and the beginnings of the history of Trinity Presbyterian Church it seems a little like reliving history as so many of the events in our past are now being mirrored in our present history, as once again, Trinity embarks on the exciting process of building a new church. In 1977 the first members of Trinity under the leadership of Rev. Ralph Kendall met in local schools in the sparsely populated and totally undeveloped lands of Kanata. By Feb. 1979, 29 members made the commitment to build a church. The result of that commitment was the completion and dedication of the "White Church on the Hill" in May of 1981. This first "passive solar" church in Canada was designed and built by architect Barry J. Hobin and Associates who was ably assisted by Mr. Bruce Gough, a passive solar heat expert. [church web site]
