Damn, Montreal's church collection is insane.

For a younger city, Edmonton has a fair amount of churches that have been around for a while, the largest and/or best looking ones I've posted below.

This is the Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Old Strathcona that was completed in 1913.

The McDougall United Church, downtown, is about 100 years old but may not last much longer.

Another century old church downtown is the First Presbyterian Church.

St. Joachim Catholic Church in Oliver.

The famous St. Joseph's Basilica right off Jasper Ave. More modest on the exterior, the interior is beautiful and I've always enjoyed seeing it in person as someone not well-travelled. Even though I don't practice any faith, going to Christmas Eve mass here with relatives or for high school mass was a pretty cool experience. Some guy named Wayne Gretzky got married here.

Robertson-Wesley United Church, located in the west of Oliver.

One of my favourites is St. Josaphat's Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral in McCauley, just northeast of downtown.

Knox Free Church, in Old Strathcona.

St. Barbara's Cathedral, a Russian Orthodox church in the east part of downtown.

Sacred Heart Church, on Church Street, a stretch of 96th street in McCauley with numerous churches.
