NEED excellent acoustics for a CONCERT,
a warm and inviting venue for a RECITAL,
or accessibility and parking for a MEETING or RECEPTION?
Welcome to our home.

Basics

We are pleased to support our community by renting our space for meetings, events, concerts and recitals. We have three primary spaces that can be rented: our main sanctuary, our original chapel, and our parish hall. A private parking lot is located directly next to our building and additional parking is available on nearby side streets. All of our spaces are air-conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter by a geo-thermal heating/air-conditioning system. Please note there is no storage space available to any long term rental users.

Any person or group renting or using the facilities for a meeting or event which is not church sponsored , be it indoor or outdoor, must apply for insurance under the diocesan program or provide proof of insurance including naming as additional insured the following: The Synod of the Diocese of Montreal, The Anglican Church of Canada and Church of All Saints by the Lake. The renter’s policy should provide the same coverage and limits of liability as the diocesan policy.

The rental rate is set by the Corporation (the team that is charged with management and oversight of the parish). In establishing the rate, the day is divided into 3 units of time; mornings, afternoons and evenings. The rate set is usually based on the use of one of these units of time.

Requests for the rental or use of the church facilities should be referred to the church administrator, Laura Lunt

Concerts, Recitals and Rehearsals

Main Sanctuary

The main sanctuary seats up to 250 guests. There is grand piano that is tuned once per year, typically in the spring. There is space for about 25 performers to sit or stand in the chancel area (in front of the altar). The banner picture at the top of the page features the Melodia choir which has blessed our sanctuary with many performances. Our pipe organ built and installed in 1959 by Casavant Frères has recently been upgraded (see the Music section for more information). The main sanctuary is fully-accessible with a ramp leading up to the front doors of the church from the parking lot. There is also a wheelchair accessible bathroom – with support bars and room to maneuver a wheelchair or scooter - located near the front of the sanctuary.

New in 2021 is a vertical lift! The building is fully accessible everywhere but the loft with a vertical lift between the main sanctuary and the downstairs hall. The lift was designed for a person using a wheelchair and can hold one person in a wheelchair and a helper. Tenants who wish to use the vertical lift will be trained in its use by Jennifer Gibb, the parish administrator. Any loading and unloading of equipment using the elevator should be arranged ahead of time so as to occur when the church sanctuary is not in use.

Inquiries involving use of the organ should be directed to our Music Director, Chris Grocholski. Please see below for photos of our main sanctuary.

Chapel

Our beautiful chapel built in 1898 of local fieldstone. It seats about 60 guests and can accommodate small musical ensembles. It also favoured for small wedding ceremonies.

Parish Hall

Our parish hall is connected to a fully-equipped kitchen. It is a room with dividers allowing the space to be one large space that can accommodate up to 150, or two medium-sized rooms and one small room. The floors in the parish hall and in the hallway leading to it have been replaced with vinyl planks with a faux-wood design (see photos below). We have stackable chairs and square tables that can be configured in many different arrangements. The parish hall is rented to the CPE Dorval Daycare M – F between 7am – 6pm and is regularly rented to groups on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings as well as on the 2nd Tuesday and 3rd Thursday of the month.
