The congregation at Balfour Street United Church held its last church service on Sunday Jan. 1. Marie Braund, secretary of board for the church, stands outside the building at the corner of Balfour Street and Catharine Avenue on Wednesday. The structure dates back to the late 1890s and was once the centre of social activities for the surrounding West Brant community. The church will be closed and some of its members will be going to Harmony United Church on Marlborough Street. VINCENT BALL/The Expositor
