A HISTORY OF CANOE COVE

MacEwen. We are greatly indebted to Rev. Donald Campbell, retired minister of Zion Presbyterian Church, Rev. Gordon Matheson, present minister of Zion, and Rev. Donald Nicholson for their help in the later years when we would be temporarily without the services of an ordained minister. A past minster, Rev. Raymond Gillis now serves as Minister-Emeritus.

We have also had many students some of whom became noted ministers. They were: Murdoch MacKinnon son of “Big Donald”, Colin MacNevin of DeSable, James Lamont son of Rev. Donald Lamont, Lorne MacKay (who later became a moderator of the Presbyterian Church in Canada), John Carson and Lloyd Henderson. Wayne Burke was with us on a part time basis for two years, also Richard Mazolf for a much lesser time.

Tribute must also be paid to the faithful elders, too numerous to mention, but who made a great contribution over the years to church and community. We can be proud of and grateful for our church heritage
