The first church on the site was built in 1899 by a Greek Catholic congregation of settlers from Galicia. Part of the congregation joined the Russian Orthodox mission; the church was closed in 1902–1906, and on 3 December 1907 the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London settled the case over the building in favour of the Russo-Greek Orthodox congregation, with compensation paid to the other side. In 1913 the log church was dismantled and the present wood-frame cruciform domed church was built. It was designated a Municipal Historic Resource in 2006; the parish belongs to the Archdiocese of Canada of the Orthodox Church in America.
Первую церковь на этом месте в 1899 году построила грекокатолическая община переселенцев из Галиции. Часть прихожан перешла в русскую православную миссию; в 1902–1906 годах церковь была закрыта, а 3 декабря 1907 года Судебный комитет Тайного совета в Лондоне решил дело о здании в пользу русско-православной общины с выплатой компенсации другой стороне. В 1913 году бревенчатую церковь разобрали и построили нынешний деревянный крестово-купольный храм. В 2006 году церковь получила статус муниципального исторического ресурса; приход относится к Канадской архиепископии Православной церкви в Америке.
