Administrative history
St. George's church began as Sunday School services in the house of Mr. W. T. Clarke in August of 1908, the congregation having been drawn from the vicinity of the Vancouver General Hospital. Weeknight services began in January of 1909. In 1910 the congregation moved into a hall on Bridge street and later to a hall on Broadway street in 1911. The formal opening and dedication of the church was held October 1, 1911 at Laurel St. and West 14th Ave. In 1996, the church building was secularized in preparation for the building of a rehabilitation facility, and a multi-purpose room in the new building used for Anglican worship on Sundays, with parish offices adjacent. Fro a few years, the parish was part of the "Jubilee Cluster" of parishes - sharing clergy and resources. A close relationship to chaplaincy ministry has been a dynamic of parish service, given its proximity to the city's largest hospital.
