7cm of textual records

This sub-series contains the minutes and reports generated by the committees created after the fire. Notably it also includes the results of a congregational survey done by the Building Needs Committee in 1988. The series also contains documents identifying those involved in said committees.

Before the purchase of the de Maisonneuve property in 1995, there were several proposals put forward regarding whether to rebuild on the same property or move to a new one. Many of these committees worked on multiple of these projects. The committees for which there are records are the following:

• The Options Committee (created January 13, 1988)
  This committee was responsible for recommending a building project to the Board of Management.

• The Building Needs Committee (created May 11, 1988)
  This committee was mandated to update the 1984 Property Study Committee Report (this can be found in UCM-SE10-SU2) in order to guide any rebuilding project. It also surveyed the congregation on the needs for a new church building.

• Building Committee (Operated from October 1988 to October 1989)
  This committee was mandated to oversee the design and construction of any new church building. It became the Design Committee in October 1989.

• Design Committee (created in October 1989)
  This committee oversaw design and use plans for any new church building.

• The Project Management Committee (created October 3, 1990)
  The series contains two written mandates for this committee. The first tasks it with recommending a building project and the second with acting on behalf of the Board of Management in dealings with developers. It appears that the Options Committee is often retroactively referred to as the Project Management Committee as well.

• Furniture, Fixings & Equipment Committee (was active 1995-1996)
  This committee was responsible for the internal details of the de Maisonneuve building.
