Manitoba Prairie Churches | Manitoba Prairie Icons
The Manitoba Prairie Churches Project was established in 2003 as a joint project between the J. M. Kaplan Fund of New York City, the Thomas Sill Foundation of Winnipeg, and the Manitoba Historic Resources Branch. The previous year, the Board of Directors of the Kaplan Foundation determined that numerous churches in North Dakota, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba were under threat of demolition due to their deteriorating physical condition, and that they warranted preservation. It was subsequently extended beyond its initial focus on church buildings to include other structure types, as the Manitoba Prairie Icons Project.
Grant applications were received from groups in Manitoba, with funds provided by each of the partners and technical advice from the Manitoba Historic Resources Branch. During the five-year term of the program, funding was provided to 28 rural and small town churches in all six of Manitoba’s major administrative regions: Norman, Interlake, Parkland, Westman, Central, and Eastman. Fourteen restoration projects were undertaken in the Prairie Icons program.
