More About the Cognashene Community Church
The Cognashene Community Church was established in 1906 when local cottagers began to hold Sunday worship services at various cottages through the summer season. The Church moved to its permanent location in the late 1950's when Louis and Sara Breithaupt donated the land on the Freddy Channel. More recently, an adjacent lot was acquired and developed as a memorial garden for many former cottagers.
Besides worship on Sundays and the occasional weddings, the site is used for community events such as the CCA Annual Meeting, as well as the Recreation program’s Kinders crafts and boating classes.
The Tranquility Garden
The Tranquility Garden has been established by the Cognashene Community Church to provide a way for Church members and other Cognashene seasonal and permanent residents to place a memorial plaque in the Cognashene area in memory of loved ones. Stone benches have been constructed in the Garden onto which the plaques are mounted and where people may come to sit quietly.
