St. George's Anglican Church (Port Sandfield, Ont.) is part of the multi-point Muskoka Lakes Anglican Parish.
The St. George's church was built in 1892 and was an outstation to St. James' the Apostle (Port Carling, Ont).
The church became inactive in the late 1970's due to a lack of clergy, and in 1981 the property was being considered for sale. The congregation fought to keep the church open and raised $10,000 for a new roof and renovations. The congregation celebrated the renewal on August 8, 1982. A memorial window of the Good Shepherd was installed and dedicated on July 28, 1985 as a reminder of the pioneers of Muskoka and the congregation's determination.
St. George's is now an occasional church and holds a regular service on August 1st.
