Once known as the “city of churches” with 90 church buildings listed in the inner zone during the year 1893, the Canadian city of Toronto has become known as a multicultural metropolis with diverse faiths and beliefs.

While nowadays just under half of the population of Toronto identify as Christian, a new initiative highlighting the historical and contemporary importance of Christianity for the city has led the Toronto City Council to proclaim December as “Christian Heritage Month.”

On Nov. 13, Cllr. Nick Mantas put forward the motion, seconded by Cllr. Frances Nunziata, which was passed with 11 votes in favor and 4 votes against. In a summary, the two councilors noted that Christianity remains “the most followed religion” in Canada, with more than half of Canadians identifying with the faith. “The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms even mentions God in its very first sentence,” they added. More Here
