History Biographical:

The Ramsey Anglican Mission consisted of St. Andrew's Anglican Church (Ramsay, Ont.).

The church was built around the 1960's; in 1969 the congregation raised $170.00 from a bazaar to help pay the debt of the recently built church. Also during this year, a bulldozer was borrowed to level the road leading to the church and its parking lot. Prior to the church's construction, services were held in Mrs. Hueston's house, and conducted by Mr. Armstrong.

St. Andrew's held its last service on Wednesday June 1, 1983. The closure of the church coincided with the closure of the town of Ramsay by the company which owns the E.B. Eddy Co. While the lumber camp was to continue operation in the area the houses in the town were torn down.

The moveable property of the church was moved to St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Biscotasing.
