À l’église anglicane St. Clement, sur l’avenue Jones, un pupitre de prière a été dédié à l’église pour honorer la mémoire du lieutenant Alan Gurney Minns, qui a perdu la vie au cours de la Première Guerre mondiale. 

Alan was born on November 2, 1892 in Toronto, Ontario. Before enlisting with the Canadian Expeditionary Force on September 22, 1914, he worked as a clerk with the Canada Permanent Loan Company and was a member of The Queen’s Own Rifles of Canada militia. He became a lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion and was wounded at St. Eloi in April 1916. After recovering in England, he returned to France, where he was killed in action at the Somme on November 6, 1916.

Having outgrown its space for the second time, St. Clement's started a building fund in 1910. A new site on Jones Avenue was purchased in 1911, with the cornerstone for the new building being laid in 1913. The church was disestablished in 2006 and remained abandoned for several years. In 2015, the church was converted into residential space.
