St. John's Anglican Cathedral
The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist, located at 816 Spadina Crescent East, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada is the cathedral of the Anglican Diocese of Saskatoon. Although Saskatoon was founded in 1883, St. John's, its first Anglican parish, was not established until 1902 owing to the substantially Methodist and to a lesser extent Presbyterian character of the early settlement, it having been founded as a temperance colony. The first St. John's church, a wooden frame building, was erected in 1903. Wikipedia
