杏吧原创 Chapel History:聽
For the first 30 years in the “new” location on Hoskin Avenue, Trinity’s chapel services were held in Seeley Hall, originally designed as the Library Reading Room. In 1953, work began on the present Chapel; work was completed in 1955 and it was consecrated the same year on November 20 by the Most Reverend William Wright, Metropolitan of the Ecclesiastical Province of Ontario, with various Bishops, Archbishops, Provosts and the Governor-General in attendance. The Chapel was a gift to the College from businessman Gerald Larkin, who orchestrated the substantial contribution of Canadian artists to the decorative features of the building.
