Description: |
The Temple was built by the Children of Peace between 1825 and 1831, and represents architecturally their vision of a society based on the values of peace, equality, and social justice. This "plain folk" of former Quakers led the country's first farmers’ co-operative; built its first shelter for the homeless; and played a key role in the development of democracy by ensuring the elections of William Lyon Mackenzie, and both "fathers of responsible government," Robert Baldwin and Louis LaFontaine;
For several of the last 10 years, the United Nations has named Canada as the best place to live. In no small way, this is a reflection of Canadian values of tolerance and respect for democracy and democratic rights. This Canadian tradition began with the Children of Peace.
Today, the Sharon Temple stands as a testament to the wisdom, forethought and integrity of its founders.
