Supreme Court of Canada declines to hear appeal, 16 June 2011 ...
On June 16, 2011 the Supreme Court of Canada dismissed the appeal by the parishes. As a result, St John’s Vancouver, St Matthias and St Luke’s (Vancouver) and St Matthew’s (Abbotsford) are relocating to new worship and ministry facilities. [The Anglican Network Church of the Good Shepherd, the fourth parish involved, purchased and moved into a new facility some time ago.] See more information on this transition.

On 14 January 2011, the four ANiC parishes filed an application for leave to appeal the BC Court of Appeal decision to the Supreme Court of Canada. The parishes are asking the Supreme Court to hear their appeal of the earlier decision which removed their right to use their church buildings and awarded church properties to the Anglican Church of Canada.

The decision by the BC Court of Appeal panel of judges – Madam Justice Nicole Garson, Mr Justice P D Lowry and Madam Justice Mary Newbury – dismissed all appeals.
