Home sweet home

You will feel comfortable at General Synod’s new national offices at 80 Hayden Street, Toronto. The offices are fresh, bright and much easier to maintain. Moving out of the old building was a challenge – just ask any staff member – but the savings in heating alone will be worth it.

$230,000

There's a brand-new face to the national offices of the Anglican Church of Canada’s General Synod as staff adjust to a modern new building at 80 Hayden Street in Toronto.

The former offices, at nearby 600 Jarvis Street, were old, dreary, in dire need of repairs, and expensive to operate and maintain. The new offices are much more cost-effective, particularly with decreased heating and cooling expenses. General Synod staff now occupy the first three and a half floors and parts of the basement of a large condominium building. There is adequate staff parking underground.

In this building, the church collects rent from separately incorporated departments: Pensions, the Anglican Foundation, the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund, and the Anglican Journal.

In addition to its rental income, and as the church moves forward into a new era of enhanced transparency and accountability, General Synod continues to look for new sources of revenue to cover ever-increasing costs and to implement a new Framework for mission and ministry adopted by General Synod in June 2004.
