history
Brentwood College Chapel was the chapel for Brentwood College, a private boys school established in Brentwood Bay in 1923. The foundation stone of the Chapel was laid on October 25, 1925. During the years following its erection, services were conducted by clergy from Victoria on a rotating basis, until the school buildings burned down in 1947. Only the Chapel survived. The school was forced to close and the Chapel, and related property, was transferred to Synod. Brentwood College reopened in September 1961 at a new location in Mill Bay. An annual service of remembrance is still held in the old Chapel, renamed Brentwood Memorial Chapel. The Brentwood Memorial Chapel was assigned a resident priest and it became the parish church for the Brentwood District. By 1986 the Chapel was a member of Saanich Deanery. It is listed in the synod journals of 1990 and 1993 as the Independent Parish of Brentwood Anglican Chapel. It is located at 792 Sea Drive, Brentwood Bay.
