About our images

All our images on this website will uphold the vision of being an intercultural church https://www.united-church.ca/community-faith/being-community/vision-becoming-intercultural-church

This site will include images from the landscape, watershed and cityscapes of our region with a particular focus on church art and architecture.  We will also draw on images that speak to the season, or the nature of a particular event.

All images will be identified with alt tags for accessibility and credited according to their licensing requirements.
